The Business Exchange is delighted to announce the winners of Reward, our award scheme recognising charities and not-for-profits in 2020.

The evening was a celebration of the miraculous work which has taken place in our Third Sector this year and the truly inspiring people behind it.
The Reward scheme was made possible with thanks to our judges and sponsors, Gill Freeman, Head of Charity & Not-For-Profit at Milsted Langdon, Tim Rutherford, Partner and Head of Charity & Social Enterprise at Stone King, Gideon Barker, Founder of Customer IQ, Jo Wren, Director of Marketing at digital wonderlab and Loraine Morgan Brinkhurst MBE of Morgan Brinkhurst Events & Promotions.

All of the judges felt that choosing the award winners was almost impossible. Every finalist had to think on its feet and come up with new ideas to boost funding pots, support donors and find new ways of carrying out their work. The tenacity, ingenuity and persistence has been outstanding, and you should all be incredibly proud.
Look out for special interviews with our winners, finalists, sponsors and judges in the coming weeks.
