- The A-Plan Award will go to a local Berkshire business, nominated by a local Berkshire charity (which has an income of less than £200,000 a year), who the judges feel have gone the ‘extra mile’, either through time given, services provided or financial support to the charity.

- The Individual Award, with the prize of a £300 weekend away, will be given to an individual from a Berkshire company, nominated by a Berkshire charity, in recognition of their personal dedication and contribution to the charity.
- Judges will be looking for how much of an effect the company’s involvement has had on the charity; the extent to which the company has taken the charity to their hearts and the quality of the relationship between the two; they will also want to see how creative the company has been in supporting the charity and the long lasting benefits of the relationship.
