About the Local Business Charity Awards (Gloucestershire) 

The Gloucestershire awards were launched in 2014. With support from the local business and charities in the county, we are proud to say they are now a fixed date in many corporate diaries in the county for recognising the amazing work our local companies do to support our local charities.  

For the second year in a row, we are delighted to welcome Jelf and Ageas back as our co sponsors and hope you will take a moment to visit their sponsor page, or their websites, to show your support.

Support A Local Charity

In 2018 we are running a campaign called 'Support A Local Charity', asking local businesses to choose and support a local charity this year. It has become apparent to us that smaller charities, although desperately needing funds and support, often do not have the time, administration staff or experience to seek out corporate sponsors and enter awards. 'Support A Local Charity' aims to introduce small businesses to small charities who may be able to work together, offering not necessarily financial support but also skills share and mentoring. 
For instance:​
  • A charity may need help completing grant applications - a local firm may have staff with experience in this area that could help them.
  • A charity wants to enter the world of social media but doesn't' have the skills - a local company may offer to spend a day or afternoon with them, sharing their skills.
  • A charity would like to hold a meeting to recruit new supporters but can't afford to rent a room in a local hotel - a local company may have a boardroom they are happy to lend for the purposes.
  • A charity desperately needs a new website - a local web development company could build them one for free.

Supporting a charity does not have to be about climbing mountains and raising money, it can also be about providing more practical support.  
We will share details of the charities and firms we've put together and who knows, one day they could be entering the awards!
