Welsh Charity Awards

This award celebrates standout individuals who have made a powerful and lasting difference through their volunteering over the past year. Whether they’ve inspired others, taken the lead, or quietly gone above and beyond, we want to hear how their actions have created a real and meaningful impact.

Nominees should demonstrate how their dedication has brought about positive change for individuals, communities, or the environment — especially through exceptional effort and going beyond expectations.

This award recognises exceptional young people whose volunteering over the past year has made a significant difference. Whether leading boldly, supporting behind the scenes, or sparking change, we’re looking for young volunteers who’ve gone above and beyond to make a real impact.

We want to see how their actions have improved lives, inspired others, and made communities stronger — rather than the hours they’ve clocked.

This award shines a light on individuals, teams or organisations that have delivered exceptional fundraising or income generation recently. We’re looking for strategic thinkers and creative doers whose efforts have not only brought in vital funds but have also shaped future fundraising success and had wider benefits.

Tell us how their ideas, planning, and execution achieved success and positively impacted their cause, organisation, or community.

This award honours organisations that have gone above and beyond their core aims to embed equality, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism into everything they do over the last year. We want to recognise efforts that challenge inequality and drive positive cultural change.

Whether it’s through policy, practice or innovative initiatives, nominees should demonstrate the meaningful impact of their work on people and communities.

This award celebrates organisations that have gone the extra mile to promote and celebrate the Welsh language. We’re looking for efforts that consider and celebrate the Welsh language within the organisation’s services and culture in meaningful and impactful ways.

Nominees should show how they’ve designed their activities with the language in mind and the difference it has made to service users and the wider community.

This award recognises small but mighty organisations (with an annual income under £250,000) who are punching above their weight. We want to hear how your team has achieved great things in the past year — from influencing policy or practice to creating big change with limited resources.

Show us how your innovation, collaboration, and use of lived experience have had a meaningful impact.

This award celebrates organisations that have made a measurable difference to people’s mental or physical health and wellbeing over the past year. Whether through services, campaigns, or creative outreach, we’re looking for efforts that have gone above and beyond the organisation’s core aims.

Tell us how this work has led to real improvements in people’s lives and the innovative approaches used to get there.

This award goes to an organisation that’s demonstrated excellence in all areas — impact, leadership, governance, innovation and inclusion. Over the last year, this organisation will have achieved outstanding results and created positive, lasting change for individuals or communities.

Nominees should show how they’ve maintained high standards while embracing innovation, resilience, equality, diversity, anti-racism, and the Welsh language — all while delivering meaningful impact.
