JustGiving blog

The annual JustGiving awards are less than a month away and everyone at JG Towers is getting pretty excited!

With over 500 entires, there’s been no shortage of brilliant and inspirational nominations. Hearing the moving, funny, and courageous stories behind your fundraising and the incredible and often crazy things you do in the name of charity has been truly inspiring. Once again, we’ve been left beaming with pride at our amazing community and we genuinely can’t wait to celebrate your amazing achievements on the big night this February the 10th.

Now that the deliberating is over, we’re super excited to bring you our amazing shortlist of candidates. It’s been pretty tough (and quite the emotional roller coaster) deciding, but now it’s out of our hands and over to our panel of judges. They’ll be getting together for the difficult task of whittling it down even further and deciding on the finalists. We’ll reveal who those finalists are at the end of the week, and then it’s the countdown to the ceremony itself.

Here’s our shortlist. For full details of the incredible stories behind the nomination, please click on the category.
