Awareness Foundation Awards

At Awareness Foundation we are eager to recognise those people who are dedicated to building peace and understanding in a whole host of ways.

Which is why a highlight of our annual Gala Dinner is the presentation of a special award to those selfless and tireless individuals and groups whose work is helping to make our world a better place.
