Enable, a not-for-profit organisation, has been named Large Charity of the Year at the Charity Times Awards for its partnership with Wandsworth Council.

A not-for-profit organisation has been named Large Charity of the Year at the Charity Times Awards. Enable was honoured for its partnership with Wandsworth Borough Council and its work across health, wellbeing, leisure and community services. The awards celebrate excellence across the UK charity sector and recognise organisations making a meaningful difference in their communities.

Enable was established in 2015 by Wandsworth Council and is contracted to deliver a range of services across the borough, including parks management, public arts, and events. The partnership with the council has led to schemes aimed at improving residents' health and wellbeing, reducing loneliness, and strengthening communities.

Ian Mitchell, chief executive at Enable, said the award recognises the impact colleagues, volunteers and partners have on communities every day. He added: 'By bringing together our expertise, services, and community connections, we can respond to what people actually need.'

Recent data shows that 85 per cent of participants rated their wellbeing as good or excellent after taking part in Enable activities. More than half said they felt extremely or very connected to their community. Flagship programmes include the Enable Film Academy, which helps young people develop creative skills; biodiversity volunteering, which encourages residents to engage with green spaces; and Warm Hubs, where activities like Pilates promote both physical health and social interaction.
