The 2024 GoCardless JustGiving Awards will take place in September 2024 during a celebration in London. All shortlisted nominees will be invited to attend the Awards Ceremony with their friends and family. Winners will receive their award at the ceremony or, if a winner is not able to attend, we will send their award (trophy) to them.
Note: Nominations are now closed for 2024.
You can nominate anyone who has received a donation to their JustGiving page between 30th May 2023 and 11th April 2024.
It does not cost anything to nominate, and you can nominate as many people (including yourself) as you wish. But remember, to only nominate someone who you know will be happy to be nominated and won’t object to you providing their information to us.
All nominations received will be screened by a team of our staff as well as a Judging Panel, appointed by JustGiving. The shortlisting process is at our complete discretion. In general, we will be looking for outstanding examples of fundraising that have clear objectives, creative and effective implementation and tangible, demonstrable results. We will also consider the structure, presentation, and clarity of each nomination, and we will shortlist three nominations in each category to be put forward to the public vote, with the exception of our Special Recognition Award, which will only have one.
You can make one vote in each category. The winner of each award will be the person, team, charity or event organiser with the highest number of valid votes by the closing date.
