Entries open for 2025 Social Business Wales awards
The annual awards, hosted by the Social Business Wales programme, celebrate the most inspiring and innovative social enterprises in Wales.
Categories include "One to Watch" for enterprises under two years old, "Innovation of the Year," and "Environmental Social Enterprise of the Year."
This year sees the introduction of a "Women's Champion of the Year" category, and a social impact award.
The Community Impact Initiative (Cii), based in South Wales, was awarded the Social Enterprise of the Year title in 2024.
Trystan Jones, their chief executive, said: "Winning a Social Business Wales award has been very meaningful for all of us."
Down to Zero, a Rhondda Cynon Taf-based social enterprise, was named the "One to Watch."
Project manager, Tom Addiscott, said: "It has given us kudos as a company, raised our volunteer numbers, and given our staff that 'feel good factor'."
Glenn Bowen, director of enterprise at Cwmpas, said: "The Social Business Wales awards are about shining a light on the incredible work happening across Wales's social enterprise sector."
Entries are open until Monday, July 14, with winners announced at an event in October.
