Awards News

A group of 19 frontline charities from the North of England, the Midlands and Wales have been announced as winners of the 2020 Weston Charity Awards.

"One of the biggest learnings for me from the project has been learning to step back and be part of a team, rather than trying to solve everything myself."

In a show of confidence, small charity leaders are expecting to help more people, build business relationships and address diversity issues in 2020. This is in contrast to an ongoing backdrop of change and uncertainty.

"The support over the last year has been invaluable. The sessions have helped me identify some key operational improvements and commit to implementing those changes. Improvements I’m confident will make a huge difference to our performance and ultimately benefit our beneficiaries."

"Pilotlight 360 exceeded my expectations and has been an invaluable process for me. I’ve been blessed with a great team of Pilotlighters. I’m not sure if I’d still be CEO without the Pilotlight 360."

We are pleased to announce the twenty winners of the latest Weston Charity Awards. Each winning organisation will benefit from a year of tailored strategic planning support from a team Pilotlighters on Pilotlight 360, giving them a fresh perspective and the opportunity to tackle some big questions.

"Pilotlight has helped myself and the chair realise we're on the same page. We've worked hard to constantly implement change off the back of meetings, which has made the process incredibly useful!"

"It’s over a year since we finished the programme and we’re now at a really exciting phase of development."

Small charities are optimistic about their prospects in 2019 despite increasing uncertainty.
