CITL Annual Awards 2026
Welcome
Celebrate innovation across the charity sector
The CITL Awards 2026 is a truly special opportunity to showcase the extraordinary talent, delivery and achievements in tech, digital and data across the UK charity sector.
Last year's incredible roster of winners included The Salvation Army for its Copilot rollout, the Refugee Council for its cloud transformation programme, Guide Dogs for cyber security excellence and ShareAction for digital skills and culture change.
These organisations demonstrated how technology can drive meaningful improvements for beneficiaries, staff, volunteers and supporters alike.
Come and be part of this year's celebrations as we recognise outstanding achievement from organisations, teams and individuals across the breadth of the charity sector, and start the festive season with a bang in the beautiful surroundings of Battersea Arts Centre.
