"Being compared to global companies and charities is a tremendous compliment, and even though we are a relatively small company supporting a relatively small charity our impact has been truly meaningful."

A note from the editor
"The challenges that we face today – both as a sector and a society – are far too big and complex for anyone to solve on their own. This makes it all the more important to celebrate the extraordinary things that charities and their partners achieve when they work together in meaningful ways. We look forward to celebrating your successes at the Business Charity Awards 2026."
- Emily Burt, Editor at Third Sector
What makes a good business-charity partnership?
Our 2026 chair of judges shared what she thinks.
"For me, two key indicators of an authentic partnership are transparency and collaboration. When there is open communication between charities and businesses about goals, challenges, and outcomes – especially when things don’t go to plan. It shows that there is trust between the organisations, mutual respect for the expertise that both bring to the relationship, and a genuine desire to drive progress."
