Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce Launches Social Value Awards

Date published: 02 June 2017


Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce has launched Social Value Awards.

The awards formally recognise the hard work and time that members give towards initiatives which benefit the wider community.

Joy Sewart, Head of Skills and Development at the Chamber, said: “Every day we witness first-hand the fantastic contribution individuals and businesses make to help Greater Manchester thrive economically, socially and environmentally.

"Because of this, we set out to find a way to celebrate their contribution and an awards scheme was created. We’re delighted to announce that over 100 organisations have already received their awards and we’re confident that through this exciting new scheme, many more businesses will begin to recognise the importance of contributing to the wider community in whatever way they can.”

The awards are available to all members who actively get involved in one of our community initiatives. The more time a member commits the greater the award level: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Awards are available.
