A new initiative, Charity Hall of Fame, has launched across the UK.
Based on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, our aim is to gather together the incredible stories of the amazing people that have changed our society for the better, so that we can create a living archive that serves to educate and inspire others about the impact of charity and civil society on communities throughout our nation.
We are now open for nominations for our inaugural class of 2025 – with the closing date for nominations being Friday 20th September 2024.
Charity Hall will Induct people under the following categories. You may nominate someone for one category only, and they must be based within the UK.
• Community Impact: For those who’ve made a big difference in their field, especially in service settings, whether by helping people directly, bringing communities together, or driving significant community change.
• Social Pioneers: For those – such as social leaders or founders – who were the first to tackle an issue or bring about change in their field or community.
• Justice & Equality: For campaigners or policymakers who have worked hard to fight inequality or injustice, leading to changes in laws, policies, or to raising awareness.
• Philanthropy: For outstanding funders and donors who have made significant changes through their donations or funding, supporting causes in innovative or collaborative ways. We’re including donors of time, skills and resources in this category too.
Charity Hall wants to inspire the next generation of community changemakers, so each category will also recognise:
• Young Changemakers: ideally aged 11-25, but up to 30 years old considered.
Historical/Posthumous nominations are welcome in each category.
Before you nominate, please read the Criteria and its accompanying Q&A.
The closing date for nominations is midnight on Friday 20th September 2024 – we look forward to hearing from you!
