This year, we are continuing our new approach for selecting the Chamber Charity of the Year for 2026/2027. Choosing the Charity of the Year is always challenging, as the incredible work each of our charities do is essential to the communities they support. Instead of requesting charities to apply for this award, we will invite Chamber Members to vote for the organisation they would like to see as the East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce Charity of the Year.
As always, the winner will be announced at the Business Awards ceremony on Friday 20th March 2026!
ENTRIES CLOSE – FRIDAY 30th JANUARY 2026 AT 5.00PM
PRESENTATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED ON OR BY – FRIDAY 20th FEBRUARY 2026
JUDGING COMMENCES – MONDAY 23rd FEBRUARY 2026
