1. Welcome

Thank you for your interest in entering the SE100 Impact Pioneer Awards!

The team at Pioneers Post is pleased to welcome your application for this year's awards, delivered in partnership with NatWest Social & Community Capital.

How does the application work?
In this form, you will find a series of questions designed to find out more about you and why you should be considered for an award and for inclusion in our SE100 Index or Pioneers100 impact leaders list.

Please be as thorough as you can in answering these questions. Those marked with an asterisk are compulsory. However, even though some questions are optional, the more answers you provide, the more points can be awarded to you during the judging and due diligence process.

To be eligible for the top 100 lists and for the awards, applicants must fill in AT LEAST pages 2 to 4. After that, your overall scores will be higher if you also answer the additional sections.

To stand a chance of being shortlisted or winning one of this year's awards you must complete the relevant section for that award. You must also provide copies of your full annual accounts (balance sheet and P&L), and (if you have one) your latest impact report, all of which will be treated in confidence. We also ask you to provide us with photos and website links illustrating your work, which will help our judges and may be used in our stories if you are successful in reaching one of our awards shortlists. This year we are also providing the opportunity for you to submit a short video - don't worry about a professional production, we are happy with a quick, informal recording about you and your organisation made on your mobile phone.
Please note: we are looking for you to tell a great story about your organisation and your achievements during the past year, but remember that we also need clear examples of outcomes, facts and figures to back up your claims and why you should win this year!

What else can you expect in this form:
  • page 2: All about your organisation (compulsory for all top 100 entries)
  • page 3: Financial information (compulsory for all top 100 entries, with specific questions for Social Business Pioneer and Pioneering Newcomer awards)
  • page 4: Managing your social impact (compulsory for top 100)
  • page 5: Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (compulsory for Diversity award)
