Charity awards nominations now open!

Returning after a two year absence the Welsh Charity Awards, in partnership with ITV, aim to highlight the amazing work of the voluntary sector.

CLOSING DATE FOR NOMINATIONS IS 20TH SEPTEMBER

The Welsh Charity Awards, organised by WCVA, recognise and celebrate the fantastic contribution charities, community groups, not-for-profits and volunteers make to Wales by highlighting and championing the positive difference we can make to each other’s lives.

Since the last awards ceremony, the voluntary sector has become even more essential. In the face of multiple crises affecting society, charities and volunteers have pulled together to make a difference to the lives of people across Wales.

This is your opportunity to celebrate charities, community groups and voluntary organisations that you feel have gone above and beyond to offer compassion and support as well as vital services within your community.

There are five categories to nominate in:

Volunteer of the year (volunteers aged 26 or over)

This award will go to an individual who stands out by making an extra special contribution to their community or environment through their volunteering.

Young volunteer of the year (volunteers aged 25 or under)

This may be the volunteer who leads and inspires others, or who goes ‘over and above to ‘get things done’.

Digital pioneers

This award will go to a group or organisation which has used digital in an innovative way to make a huge difference to people’s lives.

Wellbeing in Wales

This award will go to a group or organisation that has made a positive difference to their community by improving mental and/or physical wellbeing.

Organisation of the year
