The Guardian Charity Awards 2009 are open to UK social welfare charities that can demonstrate excellence and achievement in what they do. Eligible charities must also have been registered in the UK for more than two years and have an annual income of between £5,000 and £1 million. The winning charities receive a cheque for £1,000, a new PC donated by Jigsaw Systems, a half-day consultancy support free of charge (including follow-up support for up to six months) from NCVO and media services from Media Trust.
