Winners of the last Steve Morgan Foundation Awards in 2019
CONGRATULATIONS to all charities that have been shortlisted for the Steve Morgan Foundation 20th Anniversary Awards.
A record 337 entries were received with charities from across Cheshire, Merseyside and North Wales all vying for a share of £175,000 prize money.
The public were initially allowed to vote for their favourites online and accounted for 20% of the overall decision-making process.
This was followed by two rounds of judging by trustees from the Steve Morgan Foundation before the final shortlists were agreed.
The winners and runners-up will be announced at the Foundation’s 20th Anniversary Conference and Awards at Carden Park Hotel on March 28.
Jane Harris, Director of Regional Grants at the Steve Morgan Foundation, said: “We had a record number of entries so it was a real challenge just to get to a final shortlist. Congratulations to all those involved.”
