National Insight Awards 2021

Insight Awards 2021

Expert Citizens is a Community Interest Company led by people with lived experience of homelessness, mental ill- health, addiction, domestic abuse, poverty or histories of offending behaviour.

Through the INSIGHT awards we celebrate examples of positive or/and outstanding practice that tackles social disadvantages where ever we may find them.

We have identified four key characteristics that we believe to be fundamental when delivering, managing, planning and commissioning services. Whilst these are relevant to everyone accessing services, it’s our view that a conscious effort is needed by people and services to apply these principles in the context of people experiencing social disadvantage in all its forms.

These characteristics are intended to apply from the frontline to the board room. As such, people can be nominated from any level of an organisation, or as an independent practitioner or professional, or an organisation itself can be nominated.

What makes the INSIGHT Awards unique is that they are judged and delivered by people with lived experiences of the systems and services we believe need to change.
