AWARDS CEREMONY

FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 2026

On Friday 11 September the not-for-profit sector will come together to celebrate the incredible work of 2026. 

The Hilton on Park Lane will host the prestigious Third Sector Awards, where this year's winners will be revealed.

The afternoon begins with a welcome reception, followed by a three-course lunch before the awards presentation. It's a chance for charities and social enterprises to showcase their impact, celebrate success and strengthen their profile. Most importantly, it’s your opportunity to connect with peers, share inspiration, and be part of a day that honours the very best of the sector.

Tickets and tables will be available to book in Summer 2026.
