The shortlist for the 19th annual Charity Times Awards has been announced.
The awards reward excellence across almost 30 separate categories. The best individual charities and charity leaders will be celebrated, alongside the best examples of specific areas of charity management including fundraising, communications, campaigning, use of technology, and more.
In addition, private sector providers offering best-in-class services to charities have the opportunity to have their efforts recognised in front of a packed house at this year’s awards ceremony.
The winners will be announced at the Park Plaza Hotel at Westminster Bridge in London on 3 October.
