What are the NCC Awards?
-
This is the inaugural event for The Northern Children of Courage Awards. It builds on the success of the Yorkshire Children of Courage Awards which were first held in 2011 and the Midlands Children of Courage Awards, held for the first time in 2014.
The Awards celebrate the amazing achievements of children, young people and their families and carers and are being supported by The St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation.
The St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation is a grant-making charity with a difference. The vast majority of funds raised come from fundraising or generous donations made by the Partners and employees of St. James’s Place Wealth Management plc each year, these funds are then matched pound for pound by the company.
Over the last 29 years the St. James’s Place community has raised and distributed in excess of £108 million to good causes through the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation.
