July 2023 – Global Good Awards. It is great to see the Global Good Awards re-accredit with the Awards Trust Mark at our highest accreditation level.

They are best summed up in the following refence feedback: “The Global Good Awards are unique in that they focus on impact, they recognise those projects and individuals who are rising stars, as well those who have ‘made it’ in terms of their results, and they are scrupulously fair, objective and demanding in the standards they expect from the finalists which top their categories. The programme really is a showcase of what ‘good’ can look like, and what others can aspire to, if they have the will and the purpose.”

Well done to the Global Good Awards, continuing to set the standards for other awards to aspire to!
