This award will recognise innovative projects undertaken by not-for-profit organisations, for example a compassionate activity to improve the well-being or quality of life of patients with cancer, or an initiative that has made a significant contribution to the fight against cancer.
Entrants are asked to state the number of employees, including volunteers, as well as the level of impact relative to their size. Judges will then allocate the entry into small or large cancer charity initiative.
