Our Awards: (turn up the volume!)

​​We are proud to announce the launch of the very first Local Business Charity Awards in North Yorkshire.

The awards were founded in Gloucestershire in 2014 and now have a presence in Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and now North Yorkshire. We hope to have an awards in every county across the UK in time, if you would like us to run an awards in your area, please contact us. 

Our sponsors for the North Yorkshire awards are Jelf, who have been our loyal sponsors since our launch in 2014.  Although they are a national company Jelf's roots are firmly in their regional offices and they are looking forward to meeting many more of the businesses and charities operating in North Yorkshire. We hope you will take a moment to visit their sponsor page, or their website, to show your support.

'Support A Local Charity' in N.Yorks launched!

In 2018 launched 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 or enter awards. 'Support A Local Charity' aims to introduce N.Yorks businesses to N.Yorks charities who may be able to work together, offering not necessarily financial support but also skills share and mentoring. 
Examples of how to 'Support A Local Charity' in N.Yorks 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 featuring in our awards!
