Commonwealth Positivity Annual Awards

Recognising Excellence. Celebrating Impact. Championing Change.

Commonwealth Positivity is proud to announce the launch of our first inaugural Conference and Awards Gala in 2025. This landmark event will mark the beginning of an annual tradition to honour and celebrate the tireless efforts of individuals and organisations committed to making a meaningful difference across the Commonwealth of Nations. The Awards Gala will take place either in-person or remotely, depending on operational capabilities, and will be hosted in rotation across the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand—ensuring broad accessibility and representation for all corners of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth Positivity Conference will be a dynamic gathering designed to empower, inform, and connect Small International Development Charities based in the host country. The event will promote best practices, encourage collaboration, and offer valuable insights through a range of seminars and workshops.
