BWB Foundation - Stephen Lloyd Awards
Created: 21/03/2025The aim of the awards is to help create success by finding and nurturing innovative ideas and projects that can lead to practical, sustainable social change. The awards committee is particularly interested in supporting ideas that address social problems at a systemic level.
Shortlisted candidates and award winners will receive practical, free support. In addition, funding of £25,000 will be made available to support award winners in developing their initiatives. At the shortlist stage the awards will make up to 10 awards of up to £2,500 to assist candidates to further develop their ideas.
Ideas may come in many forms. They may be a new start-up enterprise or an extension of an organisation’s existing work. However, preference will be given to entries originating from a start-up or early stage project, rather than initiated within a larger charity organisation. They might be a discrete piece of lobbying work or a high profile campaign; the aim might be to change policy or legislation or to create a new legal form or financial structure, for example.
Who can apply?
Anyone resident in the UK, or any organisation or charity established in the UK that has an innovative idea seeking to address a problem systemically, can apply.
