The Nichols Award

At Nichols, we believe the most powerful force for change is people. This award was created to recognise inspirational individuals, projects and organisations that are making a difference in the world. 

The Nichols Award is an independent award that allows us the freedom to recognise the full breadth of positive change happening around us, from individuals and community projects to small businesses and social enterprises. Our award exists to find those people and organisations doing extraordinary things and give them the recognition, support and opportunity they deserve.

With £20,000 of prize money, winning The Nichols Award enables growth, extends reach and accelerates impact.
