The Charity Times Awards are designed to recognise and reward excellence in the management and co-ordination of all charitable activities. This aim is enforced by the make-up of the judging panel, which represents the leading figures in the UK charity sector, and thus ensures the highest possible standards are set for the most prestigious awards ceremony in the charity calendar.

The overall objectives of the Awards are threefold:

1. To honour the outstanding professionals in the many and varied fields of charity management
2. To support continuing professional development and contribute towards raising the standards of charity management
3. To promote and raise the profile of the charity sector

The Awards incorporate the whole range of charitable work; from investment, fundraising and campaigning through to use of technology and the application of sound business principles. In addition, recognition is afforded to those professional service companies working most creatively and effectively within the sector.

We feel it is important for excellence to be both encouraged and rewarded. Reflecting this belief, the Awards provides the charity sector with a dedicated event of its own, rewarding the work carried out in difficult and competitive conditions, and establishes a unique annual congress of the pre-eminent figures in the sector at the premier charity event of the year.
