PEOPLE’S Fundraising has been announced as the official sponsor of the UK Fundraiser of the Year Award at the National Charity Today Awards™ 2026.
The partnership will see the fundraising platform support one of the ceremony’s leading individual honours, recognising a fundraiser whose creativity, determination and commitment have generated meaningful support for a charitable cause.
The National Charity Today Awards™ Gala Lunch will take place on Wednesday 14 October 2026 at the Holiday Inn Peterborough West, bringing charities, volunteers, fundraisers and sector leaders from across the country to Peterborough for an afternoon of recognition and celebration.
The UK Fundraiser of the Year Award honours an individual who has demonstrated exceptional creativity, perseverance and success in raising money for charitable causes.
Judges consider the amount raised, the methods used, the originality of the fundraising activity, the fundraiser’s ability to engage and inspire others, and the measurable difference their efforts have made.
People’s Fundraising provides an all-in-one digital fundraising platform for charities, community groups, schools, social enterprises and individual fundraisers.
The platform enables organisations and supporters to manage donations, fundraising pages, events, raffles, auctions, memberships and online shops from one place. It operates without setup fees or monthly charges, with transaction costs applying when money is raised.
Its involvement with the award creates a natural connection between a company helping people raise vital funds and a national honour celebrating the individuals who turn fundraising ideas into genuine impact.
Nathan Pinkney, People’s Fundraising, said:
“We are delighted to support the UK Fundraiser of the Year Award. Fundraisers play a vital role in helping charities reach further and make a bigger impact, and this partnership is a natural fit for People’s Fundraising. Our mission is to help good causes raise more by giving them more ways to fundraise, engage supporters and generate sustainable income.”
Lee Rayment, Founder of the National Charity Today Awards™, said:
“We are delighted to welcome People’s Fundraising as the sponsor of the UK Fundraiser of the Year Award.
“Fundraisers are often the driving force behind the services, projects and community work delivered by charities throughout the country.
“They give their time, develop new ideas, overcome challenges and inspire other people to support causes that matter. Their efforts do not simply generate income. They help charities continue their work and reach people who need them.
“People’s Fundraising understands both the practical demands of raising money and the important role fundraisers play within the charity sector, making them an ideal partner for this award.
“We look forward to welcoming the People’s Fundraising team, our finalists and charities from across the United Kingdom to Peterborough in October.”
The National Charity Today Awards™ celebrate outstanding achievement, innovation and impact across the UK charity and voluntary sector.
The event provides national recognition for charities of every size, from grassroots community groups to established regional and national organisations. It also offers an important platform for volunteers, fundraisers, charity teams and sector partners whose work may not always receive the attention it deserves.
By bringing representatives from across the country together in Peterborough, the awards will allow guests to form new connections, exchange ideas and celebrate the people creating positive change in communities throughout the UK.
The winner of the People’s Fundraising UK Fundraiser of the Year Award will be revealed during the National Charity Today Awards™ Gala Lunch on 14 October 2026.
Nominations for the 2026 awards remain open, with individuals, charities and members of the public encouraged to nominate an exceptional fundraiser whose dedication and achievements deserve national recognition.
