Fresh Start Charity Wins Second National Award!

We’re proud to share that Fresh Start Charity’s Founder, Angela Gregg, has been named Best Non-Profit Business Leader 2025. This national award recognises Angela’s dedication to empowering vulnerable individuals and driving long-term social change.

Through our innovative community programmes, Fresh Start Charity continues to provide critical resources, skills training and employment pathways – ensuring sustainable support for those who need it most.

This marks our second major award in less than a year. Back in October 2024, Business Awards UK recognised our work in the Youth Services Development category, awarding us for Excellence in Mental Health Support.

Angela said she is delighted to accept both awards on behalf of the amazing team and volunteers at the Ipswich Shop, whose commitment and compassion make Fresh Start’s mission possible every day.

Looking forward

These awards are an incredible reminder of what can be achieved when a community comes together to support young people and vulnerable individuals. With the recognition comes fresh energy to keep expanding our reach and impact.

A huge thank you to our staff, volunteers, partners and supporters – these awards belong to all of us.

Together, we’re proving that change is possible.
