If you are a charity, small voluntary group, or other project tackling poverty in your local area and seeing lives turned around, then we want to hear from you.

You will be people focused, tackling causes as well as symptoms, practical, entrepreneurial, driven by conviction and motivated by compassion. Most importantly, whether a small organisation on a shoe-string, or a larger organisation, you will be helping people out of poverty and/or reversing social breakdown.

Effective poverty fighting groups both with and without charitable status are welcome to apply.

There is no application form. Describe in 500 words or less how your organisation makes an exceptional contribution to tackling poverty and turning lives around.

Supporting evidence of up to 15 pages may be attached to your application. This can include press articles, evaluation reports or applications for funding. Documents sent to us cannot be returned.

Applications can be posted or emailed to arrive by noon on 14 April 2008.

With a prize fund of £50,000, Awards will be presented at an event on 16 July 2008 before an audience of senior politicians, business people, philanthropists, celebrities and the media.
