The Charity Awards 2001 will recognise charities for their community achievements.

Sainsbury’s and The Guardian have announced the Charity Awards 2001. These are 
designed to recognise charities’ community achievements, contribution to social 
welfare, or innovative projects that can be replicated. Five winners will receive
£5,000 each together with publicity in The Guardian and on SocietyGuardian.co.uk.

The Awards are open to UK social welfare charities which can demonstrate excellence
and achievement in what they do. Eligible charities must also have been registered
in the UK for more than two years and have an annual income between £5,000 and £
1 million.
