Celebrating the legends of change

For centuries, the heartbeats of charities and communities have been their remarkable people, changing lives and shaping brighter futures.

Our nations have thrived on their passion, commitment and innovative spirit, tackling society's toughest challenges and paving the way for a fairer, more just world. Charity Hall of Fame celebrates these social pioneers, creating a lasting tribute to their transformative impact.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Charity Hall will annually induct the highest impact individuals - from the past and the present - through a community-driven nomination process. Starting in the UK, our vision is to expand globally, building an enduring archive that honours the legacy and impact of the world's community changemakers.

Charity Hall of Fame’s Founder Jamie Ward-Smith, MBE is a social founder and charity leader. They are supported by a brilliant team of Advisors and founding Induction Panel members.
