UK Social Enterprise Awards 2025

We were honoured to be a finalist in the UK Social Enterprise Awards 2025, hosted by Social Enterprise UK, held at the Southbank Centre in London on November 26th. 

This prestigious annual event powerfully spotlights and celebrates the pioneering organisations transforming lives and communities across the country. Recognising 'businesses that give back,' these awards honour social enterprises - businesses that trade for a social or environmental mission and reinvest over half their profits towards that purpose - across diverse categories, including social impact, consumer-facing services, environmental efforts, and public service delivery.

With over 700 nominations, these awards highlight the importance of elevating the social enterprise sector, showcasing its strength, innovation, and vital contribution to the UK economy and society by tackling some of the nation's biggest challenges, from homelessness and unemployment to climate change and inequality, thereby inspiring wider investment and participation in purpose-driven business. 

These awards follow on from the Social Enterprise Awards Scotland 2025 and incorporate the winners from across the country to celebrate the amazing work within Social Enterprises and their sphere.
