The Tenacious Awards provide funding and mentoring to campaigners and journalists to help them achieve their goals

The Tenacious Awards recognises the contribution of campaigning and journalism to the public good.

Launched in 2023 by Changing Ideas, these awards back campaigners with true tenacity, working to right an injustice. Our funding and support gives campaigners the freedom to push for change, the space to explore new approaches, and the networks to build momentum.

New in October 2024, we're excited to announce a new annual award celebrating the power of tenacious journalism. The Tenacious Journalist Award will recognise the contribution of public interest journalists and support them to bring important stories to life and inspire real social change. We want to trigger journalism which has the widest and deepest impact.
