The new Voluntary Sector Peer Award is launched. Starting life initially as a Corporate Responsibility award sub-category, this new award will hopefully develop into a category in its own right. It differs from our other awards in that it is open only to a specific sector and focuses on innovative aspects of their organisation’s work in general. We offer packs for this sub-category at greatly reduced fees, or even at no fee, as our way of giving back to and supporting this specific not for profit sector.
