The government wants the voluntary sector to take an even bigger role in delivering public services - and this year's Guardian Charity Awards 2009, launched on 27 May, illustrate how even relatively small charities can make a big difference to people's lives.
Last year's winners include Romford-based charity Motorvations, which workds with educationally excluded and at-risk teenagers, providing practice workshops and programmes in art, music, and design.
Once again, this year's awards are for charities with an annual income of between £5,000 and £1m that deliver practical answers to pressing problems.
Each of the winning charities receive £1,000, a PC and consultancy and media advice.
More details are available on the Guardian's awards website. The judging panel, chaired by David Brindle, the Guardian's public services editor, includes Sarah Brown, president of PiggyBankKids, and Jane Asher, president of the National Autistic Society.
