Be The Ladder Awards
We welcome you to The Be The Ladder Awards on Thursday 16th October 2025 at the Underglobe
Welcome to The Be The Ladder Awards! We want to celebrate individuals and organisations that embody the spirit of acting as ‘ladders’—those who inspire and empower others to achieve success, often in the face of adversity.
The awards aim to ignite a movement of paying it forward, encouraging stories that inspire others to “#BeTheLadder.”
By recognising and celebrating those who act as ladders for others, we hope to inspire a broader movement of kindness, generosity, and community upliftment.
Our aim is to showcase both individuals and organisations that exemplify the essence of being a ‘ladder’. Those that actively contribute to the success of others, particularly in challenging circumstances.
The Be The Ladder Awards are a fundraiser for the Be The Ladder Foundation. Through its grants and programmes, the Be The Ladder Foundation is committed to closing educational gaps and encouraging a culture of support and empowerment.
