Enter the Charity Governance Awards 2021 and win £5,000 for your charity
Entries are now open to the Charity Governance Awards 2021, the UK awards that recognise and reward charities achieving great governance.
The awards shine a light on the trustees, staff and volunteers who make change possible day after day by showcasing the stories that demonstrate how effective governance can help charities transform lives.
Michael Jarvis, who chairs the Awards for the organisers The Clothworkers’ Company, said, “Now, more than ever, boards across the country are being challenged to lead their charities effectively through crisis and change. Good governance will be the key to sustainability across the third sector. We know that the spirit of learning and collaboration thrives here, which makes sharing brilliant achievements even more important. Such resources can help our colleagues across the charity community as we navigate our way through this pandemic and its aftermath, which will have an impact on society for years to come.”
Entry to the awards is free and there are five categories to choose from, each offering a £5,000 cash prize to winners and £1,000 to runners-up.
The award categories are:
Board Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Transforming With Digital
COVID-19: Embracing Opportunity and Harnessing Risk
Improving Impact (charities with 0-3 paid staff)
Improving Impact (charities with 4–50 paid staff)

You can enter online for free until 25 January 2021. The shortlist will be announced in April 2021 and winners will be announced at a complimentary and exclusive awards ceremony at Clothworkers’ Hall (London) on 27 May 2021.
