About the Awards


One of Third Sector's most important missions – and passions – is to recognise the achievements of charities and provide a platform for examples of good practice.  


The Third Sector Awards provide an opportunity for voluntary organisations of all sizes, and the people who work for them, to celebrate their work and the real difference they make to society.

 

Whether it is supporting beneficiaries, raising awareness of crucial issues or driving best practice among their peers, the vital contributions of charities cannot be overstated. We want to use Third Sector's platform to thank the individuals and teams working their hardest to deliver at a time when they have never been more needed.

 

Entering the Third Sector Awards is your opportunity to shout about just how great your charity, organisation or team is. This is the chance to bring your work to life, tell its story and be awarded for it. The Third Sector Awards pride themselves on educating and inspiring the sector, as well as offering every entrant detailed feedback on their entry from our expert panel of judges.

2023 Judging Panel


Chair of Judges

"I would look for how an organisation interprets the judging criteria, how a need is met, examples of good practice and the originality of an approach, facts about making a difference, and the way in which the organisation presents their efforts."
