Directory of Social Change (DSC) seeks nominations for the Social Change Awards 2011 aimed at rewarding all those who are working to achieve a positive change in society – individuals, charities, community groups, companies, public bodies.
This change can come about through the everyday actions of one individual, many people pulling together, a local company that cares about their wider community or the thoughtful investment of resources.
You don’t have to be a charity to apply… whether you’re applying as an individual, an informal group, a company, a public body OR a charity; if you are passionate about social change then there is a category for you.
This year there are five award categories:
- – Everyday Impact Award – New Enterprises
- – Everyday Impact Award – Long-term Enterprises
- – Influencer Award
- – The Great Giving Funders Award
- – Life Time Achievement Award
All organisations and individuals must be based in the UK to be eligible for the Social Change Awards. Their work, however, can be international.
