Building Public Trust Award
The Building Public Trust Award for Impact in Social Enterprise 2022 is open for applications, and you could win £5,000!
PwC’s Building Public Trust Award, in collaboration with the School for Social Entrepreneurs, recognises excellence in social enterprises that can demonstrate a positive social or environmental impact.
The winner will receive a £5,000 donation and two runners up will each receive a £2,500 donation from the PwC Social Entrepreneurs Club, to help them continue to grow their impact.
Applications will be evaluated based on the following principles:
- Demonstrates positive social or environmental impact backed up by evidence.
- Demonstrates good use of impact measurement or evaluation methods.
- Involves and communicates with stakeholders.
- Clearly communicates both its intended and actual impact in the reports or evidence provided.
The applications will be assessed by a panel of subject matter experts from among PwC, the School for Social Entrepreneurs and other social entrepreneurs. The panel will shortlist ten entries initially and then choose three finalists. These finalists will then be considered by an independent judging panel.
