The JustGiving Awards are about turning personal stories into something powerful…and 2025’s winners did just that.

They built communities, inspired thousands, and show the world what’s possible when kindness meets determination. And they were chosen out of a whopping 36,000 votes!

This year, we brought the celebration to them. Check out the incredible moments as we presented them all with once-in-a-lifetime surprise experiences 👇
