This category is open to businesses that have sought to make a real difference in their communities. Businesses that are involved in a community project or have developed a project in conjunction with their local community are encouraged to apply. Examples include the transfer of business skills through staff involvement or the provision of resources.
In this category the award will be presented to the business involved, with the prize money going to further the community project the business is working with. Community groups are welcome to nominate any company that has worked with them to the benefit of their local areas, and should encourage the company to complete the application form.

Entries can include providing a service for residents in the area, raising funds for a particular facility or helping people in need.
