Charities tackling disadvantage and the root causes of poverty will be honoured at the annual Centre for Social Justice Awards next week.
The event, which takes place in London, attracts high-profile figures from the worlds of politics, entertainment and business along with charities who are transforming communities across the UK.
Six cash prizes of £10,000 will be awarded to outstanding charities and small voluntary groups that are challenging the drivers of social breakdown and turning lives around.
Now in its ninth year, the CSJ Awards has brought over 80 winning voluntary groups to the attention of the national media and policy-makers and nearly £400,000 has been given out to date.
Videos of former winners are available to watch on the CSJ's YouTube page.
The CSJ will send an update about the event and details of the winners soon.
