The Centre for Social Justice is inviting nominations for its Awards to celebrate charities and social enterprises who are proving themselves effective at preventing and tackling poverty in Britain.
The event is designed to give Award Winners unique opportunities to connect with other people passionate about furthering the cause of social justice in Britain.
The CSJ Awards find the very best grassroot charities and social enterprises from across Britain, gives them £10,000 to scale their impact and puts them in the spotlight for senior politicians, philanthropists and business and charity leaders to be inspired by and learn from.
