Global Benefactor

"When I was looking at good causes – and there are many – I wanted to find a good cause that was mature, with a proven infrastructure, that helps young people. And if you look at the Award, it’s got a lot of history, it’s got a very well organised structure, it’s international, and you can be sure that if you contribute to the Award, then the money will be used wisely."

Peter Cruddas, chairman & director of CMC Markets, and the Award's first Global Benefactor
