TIME is running out to submit nominations for the National Charity Today Awards™, with entries officially closing today, Wednesday 26 August 2026.
Charities, volunteers, fundraisers, community groups and sector partners now have just one final opportunity to put forward the people and organisations they believe deserve national recognition for their work and impact.
The National Charity Today Awards™ celebrate the very best of the UK charity and voluntary sector, shining a light on the people, projects and organisations making a genuine difference in communities across the country.
With nominations closing tomorrow, anyone considering putting forward a deserving individual, charity or organisation is being urged not to leave it too late.
The awards provide an opportunity to recognise achievements that can often go unnoticed outside the communities they serve. From volunteers giving their time to support others, through to fundraisers, campaigners, charities and partnerships delivering vital work, the awards are designed to ensure their contribution receives the recognition it deserves.
Nominations have once again highlighted the extraordinary breadth of work taking place across the UK charity sector.
Behind every nomination is a story of commitment, dedication and impact, whether that involves supporting vulnerable people, improving communities, campaigning for change, raising vital funds or simply being there when people need help most.
For smaller charities in particular, national recognition can also provide an important platform.
Being nominated can help raise awareness of an organisation’s work, demonstrate its impact to supporters and partners, and give staff and volunteers an opportunity to celebrate what they have achieved together.
Lee Rayment, Founder of the National Charity Today Awards™, said:
“Every year, these awards remind us just how many remarkable people are working within charities and communities throughout the UK.
“There are volunteers, fundraisers, teams and organisations doing incredible work every single day, often without expecting recognition or praise.
“If somebody immediately comes to mind when you think about who deserves to be recognised, this is the moment to nominate them.
“We are now at the final stage. Nominations close tomorrow, so I would encourage people not to assume somebody else will put that person or organisation forward. Take a few minutes and make sure their work is recognised.”
The National Charity Today Awards™ have become an important celebration of achievement across the sector, bringing together charities and supporters while providing a national platform for inspirational work taking place throughout the country.
As the nomination period reaches its final hours, organisers are encouraging charities to share the opportunity with their staff, trustees, volunteers, beneficiaries and wider networks.
Individuals can also submit nominations, meaning people who have personally witnessed the difference made by a charity, volunteer or fundraiser can ensure their contribution is considered.
