CSJ Awards 2021
The CSJ Awards exist to ensure that the voices of those working to tackle poverty around the country are heard by decision-makers in Westminster. Previous winners have helped to tackle modern slavery, rehabilitate ex-offenders, improve educational outcomes in deprived areas, and bring isolated older people back into the community.
The impact of winning a CSJ Award is long-lasting and helps these organisations to grow and widen the reach of their inspirational work. Award winners have been profiled on primetime television, have had their services rolled out in every school across the country, and have secured over half a million pounds in additional funding as a result of the exposure that the CSJ Awards gave them.

How have the Award winners been chosen?
Each year, the entire CSJ team dedicate themselves to scouring the country to identify the most outstanding, innovative, and effective organisations who fight poverty on the frontline. We look for organisations who help the hardest to reach, who inspire us with their profound impact, and who have discovered ways of scaling their work beyond their own neighbourhood.
This year, the CSJ received 127 applications for the CSJ Awards. The CSJ team selected 15 finalists for an external panel of judges to select the winners from.
What do we award?
Thanks to the generosity of corporate supporters and philanthropic organisations, four Award winners will receive £10,000. In addition, we are dedicated to helping our Award winners raise their profile and benefit from a broad range of support.
We encourage all of you who are reading this to help us achieve our objective by getting in contact with our award winners if you feel you can help them. You can also help by raising the profile of their work by tweeting about the Awards using #CSJAwards2021.
