ITV, Phoenix Group, Asda, Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel were among the big winners at the Better Society Awards held last night (11 May).

Hundreds of people turned up at the London Mariott Hotel Grosvenor Square for a glamorous night celebrating their achievements.

There were cheers across the tables as Barclays and Refuge were awarded the Partnership with a National Charity Award, while Greene King and Macmillan Cancer Support took home the Best Scheme to Encourage Staff Fundraising – long term partners award.

Judges said that the scheme demonstrated deep participation and engagement at all levels of the business, with senior management leading by example and even furloughed workers supporting the charity during Covid.

Other winners included ITV for Impact Company of the Year, and Octopus Energy for the Green Energy Award.

Phoenix Group left the night with two trophies, the Inclusive Employer Award and the Good Money Award.
