£50,000 Andy Ludlow Homelessness Awards 2010 open
Howard Lake | 21 May 2010 | News
The Andy Ludlow Homelessness Awards 2010 are now open for nominations, with an increased prize fund of more than £50,000 on offer.
The awards, now in their 12th year, celebrate innovation and good practice among organisations tackling homelessness in London. They were established in 1998 in memory of Andy Ludlow, former director of Housing and Social Services in the London Borough of Haringey, who died at a tragically young age.
The winner will win £25,000, with £10,000 going to each of the two runners up. Three shortlisted organisations will win £2,000 each.
Social landlords, borough housing departments and voluntary organisations across the capital are all encouraged to apply.
The awards are run by London Councils and are funded by all of the London boroughs, with additional sponsorship from the Department of Communities and Local Government, the London Housing Foundation and Shelter.
Last year’s winner was Broadway, a charity helping homeless eastern European migrants get off the streets and into work.
The closing date for entries is 21 June 2010.
