About the awards
At Lloyd’s, we’re proud to recognise the passion, dedication, and innovation our people bring to charitable causes.
That’s why we created the Lloyd’s Market Charity Awards, to celebrate individuals making a real difference.
Winners receive a donation of up to £15,000 to the charity they support.
Not only can you apply as an individual or nominate a colleague individual volunteering and fundraising awards, but you can also apply for our small group awards if you’ve worked together with your colleagues to support a charitable cause.
Our Best Corporate Charity Partnership Award celebrates companies in the Lloyd’s Market who are demonstrating excellence in social impact through an established corporate charity partnership.
