Deadline: 6-Mar-23
Nominations are now open for the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) Awards to celebrate charities and social enterprises who are proving themselves effective at preventing and tackling poverty in Britain.
The CSJ works closely with an Alliance of grassroots charities and social enterprises as they are critical to their mission, both in their vital work supporting people out of poverty and through feeding their insights and ideas into their policy work.
The CSJ Awards finds the very best grassroots charities and social enterprises from across Britain, gives them £20,000 to scale their impact, and puts them in the spotlight in front of senior politicians, philanthropists, journalists and business leaders.
