Newham’s Business of the Year awards, sponsored by the University of East London, recognise voluntary and community organisations which have made a social impact on the borough in the past year.

The best three entries submitted will be shortlisted and invited to a dinner at Stratford’s Old Town Hall on October 4.

Newham Chamber of Commerce chairman, Lloyd Johnson, said: “The award is a way of recognising the many excellent efforts to make life better for Newham’s residents.

“We want to hear from those groups and from individuals recommending an organisation which has impressed them.”

Successful entrepreneurs are also being rewarded in the Young Entrepeneur of the Year award.
