Charities all around Britain do great work every day. The Asian Voice Charity Awards powered by Charity Clarity are about rewarding charities that think big and solve the most pressing social issues of our time, both in Britain and globally. In addition, the awards reward charities that seek to innovate and strive for excellence.
The award will showcase excellent charities which operate in Great Britain and globally, and aim to give a much-needed boost to organisations struggling to get the profile and funding they need to move forward and offer a priceless leg-up to organisations that are delivering practical solutions to present day problems. They are meant for rewarding charities who have made progress towards their dreams, regardless of their size. So that our generation's legacy can be to reinvent the way humanity thinks about changing things for the better.
