About the Weston Charity Awards

The Weston Charity Awards, a collaboration between the Garfield Weston Foundation and Pilotlight, have supported ambitious front-line charities working in the fields of community, environment, welfare, and youth to amplify the impact of their work.

Small charities in Wales, the North of England, and the Midlands are eligible and first-time applicants are especially welcomed.

The Awards package

The Awards offer a package of support worth over £22,000 to up to 22 charities which will include:

  • Access to the Pilotlight 360 programme — an eight-month package of leadership coaching worth an estimated £16,000
  • Unrestricted grants of £6,500 to support the work with Pilotlight
  • Collaborative opportunities and events through Pilotlight’s network of charities across the UK
  • Two peer-to-peer support sessions with fellow award winners to share good practice and learn from each other
  • A celebratory event for all award-winners on conclusion of the programme
  • The enhanced profile associated with receiving this award grant for excellence.

Deadline for applications: Wednesday 8 January 2025.
