We’re delighted to share that we were one of five big winners at the 2025 Charity in Governance Awards ceremony last night! 

SNAPS won the ‘People in Governance’ award, with judges praising the vital role our Board has played in transforming SNAPS from a grassroots organisation into the professional charity it is today.

In their feedback, the judges praised our “thoughtful, inclusive and transparent” approach to governance, commenting:

“The board’s blend of lived and professional experience creates an authentic culture of shared purpose and collaboration. Particularly striking was the charity’s commitment to amplifying all voices – including children – through its Junior Ambassadors programme and open AGMs, where families can directly raise questions and offer feedback.”

We’re incredibly honoured and proud to receive this recognition. It’s a reflection of the passion and dedication our Board brings to SNAPS – combining lived experience with expert governance to help ensure that families of children with additional needs and their families get the support they need. 

Our Chair Chris Eatwell and Trustee Roberta Gamba accepted the award on behalf of SNAPS at the live ceremony in London on 3rd June, during Volunteers Week 2025.

A heartfelt thank you to our Board of Trustees for their incredible work, and to The Clothworkers’ Company for organising such an  inspiring event to celebrate great governance in the charity sector.

Congratulations to all of the other brilliant shortlisted and winning charities. It’s a privilege to stand alongside so many organisations doing such meaningful work.
