Bristol-based community engagement and investment platform Neighbourly has been awarded a 2022 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category.

Employing 70 people, Neighbourly was set up in 2014, with the aim of connecting businesses with local vetted good causes across the UK and Ireland to make a positive and measurable impact in neighbourhoods.

The platform now has over 20,000 registered charities and community causes, giving companies such as M&S, Lidl, Heineken, Aldi, RSA and B&Q unrivalled access to community projects that they can support through financial donations, volunteering programmes and surplus product redistribution to achieve and measure their CSR and ESG goals.

Steve Butterworth, CEO at Neighbourly said: “It’s an absolute honour for Neighbourly to have been recognised with a Queen’s Awards for Enterprise.

“The last few years have been incredibly tough for local communities and businesses alike. To have been able to grow a technology solution that has helped organisations to have a positive impact at a local level during this time is a testament to a changing world in which being a successful business is being one that is a force for good.

“Huge thanks must go not only to our corporate partners and investors, whose unwavering commitment to social and environmental impact in local communities has enabled us to build and scale an award-winning technology platform but to our 20,000+ network of local good causes and our talented team who make critical local impact possible every day.”

Neighbourly is one of 225 organisations nationally to be recognised with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise, announced today (Thursday 21 April).
