THE CHARITY TODAY AWARDS 2024

The national Charity Today Awards, in partnership with Sinclair Method UK, celebrate the achievements and contributions of charities, businesses, and individuals across the United Kingdom. These awards consist of four primary categories Charity of the Year, James E. Smith Special Recognition Award, UK Volunteer of the Year and, finally, the UK Fundraiser of the Year.

The awards aim to inspire others to get involved and make a positive difference in their communities.

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE FOR FREE

The Charity Today Awards stand out in a unique way. Unlike many awards that charge for event tickets, or require a submission fee for entries, the Charity Today Awards are entirely free. Yes, that’s right, it’s on us and our wonderful sponsors! It does not end there; our finalists are treated to a sumptuous 3-course dinner, free of charge. And still that’s not all – in addition to recognition and prestige, finalists also receive a cash donation to support their charitable endeavours!

Awards Presentation & Dinner

We are delighted to announce that, in keeping with tradition, the forthcoming Charity Today Awards 2024 will culminate with a distinguished dinner and awards presentation ceremony. Commencing with a welcoming reception and networking session, the event will continue with an exquisite three-course dining experience. Throughout the afternoon, attendees will immerse themselves in a splendid atmosphere of celebration and inspiration, reaffirming our commitment to acknowledging and commending the remarkable philanthropic endeavours undertaken by individuals and organisations across the nation’s charitable sector. As the event draws to a close, our esteemed finalists will be honoured with their well-deserved awards and donations.
