Resolve Poverty Awards to celebrate positive impact in anti-poverty sector

By Tom Waring, Business Development Executive at Resolve Poverty

We are excited to announce the launch of the Resolve Poverty Awards 2024!

We are launching these awards to celebrate the people, organisations, and networks across the country making a real difference in tackling poverty in local places and regions. Following our recent rebrand to become a national-facing organisation, we believe this is the perfect time for us to launch these awards.

The winners will be celebrated across all our media channels in an online event in October, and at our annual conference in March 2025. Keep an eye on our social media channels and awards webpage for updates.

How do I nominate?

It’s free to make a nomination and you can enter yourself or someone else for an award here.

The nomination form is simple and will take no more than five minutes to complete. We will get in touch for more information if needed. You can nominate as many people or organisations as you like, and individuals and organisations of all types are eligible.

Sponsorship opportunities

We also have sponsorship opportunities with a number of benefits – see our sponsorship brochure for more details.
