Where Purpose Meets the Podium

Recognising excellence in business and charity partnerships


The Business Charity Awards recognise the outstanding partnerships between businesses and charities, and the people behind them, that are making a difference across the UK.

From charities and corporate foundations to businesses of every size, the awards celebrate organisations that are working together to tackle social challenges, support communities and deliver results.

From partnerships delivering long-term change to campaigns making an immediate difference, the Business Charity Awards recognise the work that shows what business and charity can achieve together.

First entry deadline: Thursday 29 October 2026

Do you want to...


CELEBRATE WHAT YOU'VE ACHIEVED

In an age of rising consumer and employee distrust towards corporate social responsibility, a business charity awards win is the ultimate antidote to "purpose-washing." 

It provides credible, third-party validation from the sector's leading voice that your partnership is genuine, strategic, and creating tangible social change, building deep trust with all stakeholders.

PUT YOUR PARTNERSHIP IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Strong partnerships deserve to be seen. The awards give businesses and charities a platform to tell their story, showcase what they have achieved and raise the profile of their work.

Use that recognition to build pride internally, strengthen your reputation and bring greater attention to the cause you support.

GET RECOGNISED FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Put your work in front of an expert judging panel and gain independent recognition for the impact you are creating.

A place on the shortlist or a win gives you something powerful to share; showing employees, supporters, partners and the wider sector that your work is making its mark.


INSPIRE A MOVEMENT

 Sharing your success can encourage more businesses to get involved, give charities new ideas for working with corporate partners and raise the bar for what these partnerships can achieve.

Celebrate your success and inspire others to create their own.
