£1,000 prize for the small business with the biggest heart
Howard Lake | 28 September 2016 | News
One small business in the UK that helps its local community or organisations in remarkable ways will win £1,000 for charity in a competition run by BusinessesForSale.com, the website for business sales and strategic support.
Charities and voluntary organisations can nominate their best small business supporters for the award.
The Small Business, Big Heart Award regional winners will each be presented with their award at the Small Business Saturday Bus Tour when it comes to their nearest town. The overall winner will be announced in January 2017 and receive £1,000 towards a good cause of its choice.
Rufus Bazley, Marketing Director at BusinessesForSale.com said:
“The award is not for a business that has simply written a large cheque, we’re looking for those business folk who have an on-going relationship with people in need in their communities who they help in any number of ways. It could be supporting staff with time off for voluntary work, it may be offering apprenticeships and training to people who couldn’t otherwise get on the career ladder, it may even be outreach work with organisations that need the skills, time and input from the business that they could not afford to pay for themselves.”
He added:

“In many of these cases the businesses concerned do not court publicity for their efforts, which is why BusinessesForSale.com is inviting the beneficiaries of the good deed to nominate their small businesses with a big heart in the first round of applications. Charities, other benefactors and employees of the small businesses can also put their organisations forward”.
Entries and nominations for the Small Business, Big Heart Award are now open.
