Business Community Impact Award
Is your business, charity, or social enterprise making a real difference in the community? The Business Community Impact Award is here to celebrate those who go the extra mile to support local people, organisations, and causes.
Whether you’re tackling key social issues, launching innovative community programmes, or embedding responsible business practices into your organisation, we want to recognise your hard work and impact!
Our judges will be looking for inspiring examples of how businesses are giving back in meaningful and sustainable ways.

What We’re Looking For
This award is designed to recognise businesses and social enterprises that are making a difference in their communities. Charities are not eligible for this category but are encouraged to apply for the Charity of the Year Award, which specifically celebrates outstanding achievements in the voluntary sector.
Corporate Social Responsibility is about more than just ticking boxes—it’s about making lasting change. Whether you’re leading a grassroots initiative or embedding responsible business practices into your organisation’s culture, this is your chance to showcase your impact and inspire others. If your business is making a difference, we want to hear from you!
This award is all about celebrating businesses that are doing more than just business—they’re making our region a better place to live and work. If your organisation is making a real impact, we’d love to hear your story!
Making a Positive Impact on the Community
Tell us about the key challenges or social issues you’ve taken on and how your business has helped tackle them. Whether it’s supporting disadvantaged groups, improving sustainability, or funding local initiatives, we want to know how you’ve made a difference.
A Community Programme That Delivers Real Support
Have you launched or supported a programme that’s had a lasting effect on the local community? Whether it's working with schools, charities, or local projects, we’re looking for creative and effective ways businesses have stepped up to help.
Time, Skills & Resources – What Have You Contributed?
Community impact isn’t just about donations—it’s about action. We want to see how your business has invested time, expertise, and resources into making a meaningful change. Whether it’s staff volunteering, skill-sharing, or providing essential support, show us the impact you’ve made.
Understanding Local Needs & Engaging Your Team
A great community initiative starts with understanding what’s needed. Tell us how your business has identified key local challenges and encouraged staff to get involved. Have you raised awareness, increased participation, or inspired long-term engagement?
