Applications open for the Stephen Lloyd Awards 2019

The RSA is proud to be supporting the 5th annual Stephen Lloyd Awards. Applications are now open in search of entrants with an early stage project addressing a social problem in an innovative manner. Applications will close on 5th April 2019 and anyone with a novel project with a vision for systemic change, are encouraged to apply.

The Awards, an initiative of the BWB Foundation, Charity Number 1150321, provide emerging innovations with the vital encouragement needed to cultivate their ideas and spread their impact. Winning applicants will receive funding of up to £20,000, along with extensive pro bono support from like-minded business leaders in the social enterprise sector, who are committed to creating a positive impact on society in a long-term and sustainable way. Shortlisted applicants will also be awarded up to £2,000 to further develop their project, and will also benefit from similar pro bono expertise.
