Charity Times invites readers to nominate sector’s best leaders through Covid-19

Charity Times is urging people to nominate 20 ‘Pandemic Pioneers’ to celebrate innovative charity leadership over the course of the Covid-19 health crisis.

The events of the pandemic have meant a lot of changes for charities over the last 18 months, including a move to digital, new ways of fundraising and a complete overhaul of the working environment.

Charity Times is now looking for the individuals who have left an impression - even as things get back to a 'new normal'. It could be someone who has taken the crisis in their stride and transformed how things are done, or created or contributed to guidance that has helped charities through the events.

Individuals can nominate up to two people who they believe have helped shape the charity sector during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nominees must be of chief executive level or equivalent and be part of a charity, or an organisation that works directly with charities, and have led on something that has transformed operations for more than one charity during the pandemic or heavily influenced the successful running of charities.

Nominations close on Friday 17 September and the form can be found here.
