All proceeds from the Community Impact Awards will be donated to the Pagabo Foundation, an initiative focused on improving mental health awareness and wellbeing across communities.
The foundation works to break down stigma, provide access to helpful resources, and connect individuals and organisations with the support they need.
By funding mental health training, promoting open conversations at workshops, and signposting, it aims to create a more informed approach to mental health.
Fourteen categories. One common measure — lasting impact.
