The 2023 awards showed the power of good!
Last year we welcomed over 600 guests to our awards ceremony hosted by comedian, author and TV star Shaparak Khorsandi. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and the performances from social enterprises that use music to empower young people and marginalised communities.
Sixteen generous sponsors helped us celebrate and award 15 incredible businesses helping us all to live in a better world. Winners included a social enterprise ferry connecting rural communities, social enterprises creating jobs and opportunities for people experiencing homelessness, and businesses finding innovative ways to protect our planet.
In total over 90 organisations made up our prestigious shortlist.
