Do you know a charity that could benefit from a £5,000 donation?

We are now in our fifth year of our charity award and we are once again asking our members and the general public to nominate your favourite charity. 

Nominations will close on 30^th June 2021.

Once nominations have been made, a panel consisting of employees and Board members will choose the final ten charities to put forward for the public vote. Charities will then have until 31^st October 2021 to get as many votes as possible.

The successful charities will be announced in November 2021. This year there will be three winners, the charity with the most votes will receive £5,000, £1,500 for 2^nd place and £1,000 for 3^rd place.

Last year these charities scooped an award:

• Paces Sheffield - £5,000
• Angels Small Paws Dog Rescue - £1,500
• Baby Basics Sheffield - £1,000
