The Opening Doors to Adult Learners Award recognises the achievements of organisations and their projects - from employers, trade unions, the voluntary and community sector to local authorities, colleges and commercial organisations and businesses.
Outstanding projects must show originality in their approach, a clear route of progression and above all, evidence of positive impact on learners' lives, and be:
- running for a minimum of nine months as at 29 January 2010 and be ongoing;
