Aims/priorities: The Stephen Lloyd Awards were established in memory of charity and social enterprise lawyer, Stephen Lloyd, who died in August 2014. They reflect his commitment to finding and supporting innovative ways of achieving social or environmental change.
Stephen was an innovator and developer of new ideas. These awards continue Stephen's passion through supporting early-stage projects that have real potential to achieve practical, positive, sustainable changes in today’s society.
The awards are about creating success and, in line with Stephen’s own approach, they will harness the expertise and the finance of those with deep knowledge of the charity and social enterprise sector to help socially valuable projects move from concept to realisation.
Who can apply? Anyone resident in the UK, or any organisation or charity established in the UK that has an innovative idea seeking to address a problem systemically, can apply.
Grant amount: Winners will receive funding of at least £25,000, along with extensive pro bono support from experts in the social enterprise sector, who are committed to creating a positive impact on society in a long term and sustainable way.
Shortlisted applicants will also be awarded up to £2,500 to further develop their project ideas, and may also benefit from similar pro bono expertise.
Application process: More details are available at the Stephen Lloyd Awards website.
Deadline: Wednesday 14 May 2025, (24:00).
