The UK Social Mobility Awards, now in their second year after a fantastic inaugural event, are a unique set of awards that have been specifically established to recognise and encourage action that will promote and increase social mobility within Britain’s companies and institutions. These awards will recognise best practice and innovation and celebrate excellence and achievement and elevate social mobility as a cause equal to the level of other diversity issues.

We firmly believe that, by raising awareness and celebrating the people and organisations that are committed to bringing about change, together we can year on year advance the cause of social mobility in this country. There will be 10 award categories, 4 individual and 6 organisational, selected to focus on those areas where a real difference can be made by taking the right actions.

Nominations will open on 16th April and will close on 29th June 2018. The shortlist will be revealed on 16th July and the winners will be announced at a gala dinner which will be held at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square at 6.30pm on October 18th 2018.
