These awards were announced last July when Prime Minister Gordon Brown started the Council for Social Action.
It was decided that Social Technology was a key part of positive social action in the UK.
The awards are sponsored by NESTA, The National Endowment for Science, Arts and Technology and BERR, the government’s Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.
They are supported by Make Your Mark, the national campaign to help young people make their ideas happen, Unltd who support social entrepreneurs, and Polecat who help businesses and organisations measure their social impact.
