Details

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 aims to recognise the full breadth of positive change happening around us, from individuals and community projects to small businesses and social enterprises. The award exists to find those people and organisations doing extraordinary things and give them the recognition, support and opportunity they deserve.

You must demonstrate:

• Vision: you think differently. You bring creativity, innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit to everything you do.
• Values: your work is driven by a clear set of values, whether that is sustainability, community, wellbeing, diversity, or something else entirely.
• Impact: you are delivering, or have delivered, meaningful change in the world.
