The Transforming Lives Awards are inspired by the Alquity shared values business model which has generated over $1.7m in charitable donations and contributed to transforming thousands of lives across Africa, Asia and Latin America. Driven by the exponential growth of the business, the Transforming Lives Awards reflect the ambition of the firm to become one of the leading social impact businesses in the UK.

The Awards are held in partnership with Philanthropy University, as its convenor. Aligned with the mission to resource sustainable development, Philanthropy University provides its online learning platform as a mechanism to reach and bring together like-minded organizations at scale. Alquity has committed an initial $600,000 to fund the awards.
