Abdoul receives UK Social Enterprise Award on behalf of Breadwinners
On December 8th, we had the honour of attending the UK Social Enterprise Awards 2022 at the iconic Roundhouse in London and winning the “Prove It: Social Impact Award”.
Breadwinners is proud to be one of the UK’s 100,000+ social enterprises – businesses set up to trade for a social or environmental purpose.
The “Prove It: Social Impact Award” sponsored by Linklaters, is designed for any social enterprise which can effectively demonstrate and communicate their impact to their stakeholders. We are very proud to have been recognised for our peer-led evaluation in our latest Impact Report 2021 published in April, which underlined the positive impact of our employability programs through peer-to-peer consulations between young people from our Proofers Programme and Breadwinners alumni.
Because young people are at the centre of our work, we sent Abdoul, a recent graduate of our Risers Programme to accept the award on behalf of the Breadwinners community. Watch his incredible speech below!
“Myself, I am the product of one of their program, which is the Risers Programme. I took the programme three months ago and I’m here today to represent them which is amazing. ”

Thank you to Social Enterprise UK and Linklaters for having us, and a huge congratulations to the winners and shortlisted organisations of the 15 award categories!
“I would like to thank all of those people who are helping refugees and asylum seekers to build their new life in the UK. ”
