Centre for Social Justice Awards

The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) Awards recognise and reward local charities and voluntary organisations that are working in the community to address the causes of poverty and turn people's lives around. Winning organisations receive £10,000.

Entries for the awards close on 4 January 2012 so don't miss out!

Each winning organisation receives £10,000, and their work will be showcased before an audience of politicians, celebrities and media at a celebratory evening in July.
