UK Social Enterprise Awards 2025

These annual awards, convened by SWM Member Social Enterprise UK, are now open for nominations.

Each year, the UK Social Enterprise Awards shine a powerful spotlight on the pioneering organisations transforming lives and communities across the country.  It’s more than just a celebration, it’s a moment to bring together this inspiring movement of businesses putting people and planet before profit and look back at all social enterprises have achieved in the last year.  

The Awards are the most anticipated evening in the social enterprise calendar – a night where stories of impact, innovation and resilience take centre stage.

Entering the Awards is more than just a chance to win. It’s an opportunity to elevate your story, celebrate your team’s achievements, and showcase your impact to a national audience.  

It’s easy to apply and you can save your application at any time and come back to it. So, what are you waiting for, apply and tell the world just how brilliant your social enterprise is!  

Winners will be chosen by a distinguished panel of judges — a stellar line-up of sector leaders, past winners, academics, social investors, and business pioneers. One of the categories is ‘Environmental Social Enterprise of the Year.’

Nominations close on 7 July.
