The winning charities will each receive £6,000 prize money, plus one year free NCVO membership, a tailored package of support from the Foundation for Social Improvement (FSI) that includes mentoring, expert advice and training, and a media package from the Media Trust.
To enter the awards, which have been running for 19 years, charities must have been registered in the UK for more than two years and have an annual income of between £5,000 and £1.5 million.
Jane Asher, awards judge and the president of the National Autistic Society, said: “I’ve always been particularly impressed by the Guardian Charity Awards for focusing on smaller, more vulnerable charities, and this year the influence of the awards will be more crucial than ever.”
The closing date for entries is 15 July 2011.
