CHCP wins UK Social Enterprise Award

06 December, 2024

City Health Care Partnership CIC are thrilled to have won the Building Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Justice category at the UK Social Enterprise Awards.

CHCP is one of around 131,000 social enterprises in the UK: businesses that trade for a social or environmental purpose and reinvest at least half their profits to further their vital mission. With stiff competition from hundreds of entrants across 15 categories, this prestigious prize recognises the brightest stars in our brilliant sector, so it’s a huge honour to win.

Group Chief Executive Andrew Burnell said, “Winning this award is particularly special for us. Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the core of our business and our Inclusion team is a shining example of these values in practice. They provide care for people experiencing homelessness, substance dependency, working in the sex industry or who are part of the traveller community. They also run clinics for people who have come to the UK seeking refuge.

“I am extremely proud that the team’s work has been recognised by this national award along with CHCP’s commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and justice in everything we do.”

 We collected our trophy in a fabulous ceremony at London’s iconic Roundhouse hosted by national sector body Social Enterprise UK on 4 December.

Peter Holbrook CBE, chief executive of Social Enterprise UK, said: “Our incredible winners capture the breadth and impact of the nation’s social enterprises. Their stories all make it clear how vital social enterprise is to building a stronger, fairer, more sustainable world.”
