Who we are
The Tenacious Awards is an initiative of Changing Ideas, a registered charity founded by David Graham. Changing Ideas supports ideas addressing social injustice and human rights, and backs causes that can impact the lives of the most vulnerable including through the Tenacious Awards.
The Tenacious Awards is supported by trusted partners and friends across the campaigning and journalism worlds. To successfully deliver the awards and maximise their longer-term impact, Tenacious Awards partners with:
Breakthrough is a campaign accelerator that backs people who've lived through injustice to lead the drive for change. They give people the strategy, connections and infrastructure to be heard, build power and win change that’s actually felt - in their lives and in their communities. They have supported our campaigners through the Tenacious Campaigners Awards and continue to provide advice to strengthen how our campaigners are supported.
The Public Interest News Foundation (PINF) is the UK’s first charity to support public interest news – ethical and impartial journalism that informs and empowers the public about the things that matter to all of us. PINF administers the Tenacious Journalism Awards and is providing mentoring and support to the winners.
