Brachers Sponsors Kent Charity Awards 2026 For Sixth Year

Brachers is delighted to announce its sponsorship of the Kent Charity Awards 2026, marking the firm’s sixth consecutive year of support. Brachers’ partners Christopher Eriksson-Lee and Mary Rimmer will also return as judges.

For over 10 years, the Kent Charity Awards have been recognising, celebrating and rewarding the hard work of charities, volunteers and trustees across the county. Entry is open to all Kent-based charities, as well as nationwide charities that deliver high-quality services throughout Kent. Alongside charity entries, individuals can nominate a trustee or volunteer for an award. Thousands of volunteers across Kent dedicate their time and energy to their causes, and these two prestigious awards pay tribute to their dedication and invaluable contribution.

Last year’s Kent Charity of the Year winner, Maidstone-based Heart of Kent Hospice, said: “Winning Kent Charity of the Year felt like a warm embrace from our community. It was a powerful reminder that the care we provide and the compassion shown every day by our colleagues and volunteers truly matter. The award gave us a moment to pause, feel proud, and thank the many supporters who stand beside us. More than recognition, it was a shared celebration of everyone who helps make hospice care possible.”

Last year’s Kent Charity of the Year winner, Maidstone-based Heart of Kent Hospice, described the award as a powerful moment of recognition for the care provided by its colleagues and volunteers, and a chance to celebrate the community and supporters who make hospice care possible.

Supporting the charity sector, whether through legal support provided by our Charities team or through our own charitable efforts, is a core part of the Brachers ethos and all eligible charities are encouraged to apply.

Christopher Eriksson-Lee, Partner and Head of the Private Client team at Brachers said: “We are honoured to continue our support of the Kent Charity Awards for the sixth consecutive year. The awards highlight the outstanding work of charities across the county, and each year we are inspired by their commitment and innovation. We look forward to recognising the exceptional contributions of these organisations once again.”

The Kent Charity Awards are free to enter, and nominations must be submitted by Friday 8 May 2026. Finalists will be invited to a gala evening on Thursday 3 September 2026, when the winners will be announced.
