Standing Tall shortlisted for ‘One to Watch’ national award
We’re thrilled to have been shortlisted by the UK Social enterprise awards, recognising Standing Tall as one of the country’s most innovative and impactful businesses.
Standing Tall beat stiff competition to make the shortlist for the UK Social Enterprise Awards this year, which attracted more than 400 entries from all over the country. Awards recognise sector-leading excellence and innovation across a diverse range of criteria, and Standing Tall is a finalist in the ‘One to Watch’ category.
Christy Acton, Standing Tall’s CEO, said: “We’re so thrilled to have been shortlisted by the SEUK Awards and be recognised for the work we’ve started.”
Standing Tall will join other finalists and VIP guests at a prestigious awards ceremony in London’s iconic Roundhouse on Thursday 30 November, when the winners will be revealed.
The Awards are run by Social Enterprise UK, the leading membership body for social enterprises.
Peter Holbrook CBE, chief executive of Social Enterprise UK, commented: “Our Awards are the ultimate showcase of the impact and excellence of social enterprises. Those who made the shortlist are a beacon of innovation, optimism and resilience in turbulent times.
“These are trailblazers and standard-setters for better business, making profit but not putting it before people and planet – and they do all this under the same immense pressures as other businesses, with the long-term impacts of Covid and a national cost of living crisis.
“The challenges we face as a society demand new approaches and a shift in how businesses - big and small - act. Social enterprises celebrated at our Awards are the brightest stars in a brilliant sector, giving us all inspiration and motivation to do business better.”
