This is the 4th year of the Charity Film Awards, which are split into categories by turnover.
Simon Burton, Co-founder of the Charity Film Awards, commented:
“The level of public engagement in the awards is spectacular and it is completely free of charge to the charities involved. The Awards give the truly creative films UK charities produce a context and shot of adrenaline resulting in a huge uplift in viewership, conversation and donations.”
