The Global Good awards provide us with an excellent opportunity to step back and take stock of all we have achieved with our community partners over the last year. The application process really helps us to assess our programmes and evaluate how they have been carried out in a succinct way, taking all our spreadsheet monitoring and evaluation data, student quotes, volunteer feedback, and impact results and putting it all into one place to tell the story of our partnership and achievements. The awards also provide us with an opportunity to knowledge share and network with other like-minded businesses, and to properly celebrate our successes (as we rarely find time to do that). Compared to some of the other award schemes that we enter, the Global Good Awards really does practice what it preaches, from carbon balancing the awards evening to sourcing the beautiful glass trophies from a local artist, they go above and beyond. This year’s awards ceremony was the first ever vegan awards event and the caterers did a fantastic job which helped contribute to the overall feel and ethos of the awards scheme. We’re proud to be recognised by the scheme and look forward to continuing our relationship with them.
