Arrive Alive Charity has been named as a finalist for the Non-Profit Champion Award 2026, sponsored by Midland Eye, at the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce Awards.
The awards will be held at the ICC Birmingham on Thursday 14 May 2026 and celebrate organisations making a meaningful contribution to the region. Judges have highlighted the strong number and high quality of entries received this year, with eleven award categories refreshed to open the programme to a wider range of organisations. Birmingham City University is the headline sponsor of the event.
Arrive Alive was shortlisted in recognition of its life-saving emergency response work and the positive impact it continues to have across communities in the West Midlands.
Debbie Roscoe, Founder of Arrive Alive Charity, said:
“This shortlisting is a real milestone for Arrive Alive. It reflects the progress we’ve made as a charity and the impact our work continues to have across the region. We’re proud of what has been achieved so far and remain focused on supporting communities when they need us most.”
The awards are judged by a panel of senior figures from across business, education and the public sector, including Tony Elvin (Touchwood Solihull), Nicola Turner (United By 2022), Alex Cole (Tinventures), Zak Mensah (Birmingham Museums Trust), Hanifa Shah (Birmingham City University), Jayne Hussey (Mills & Reeve), Taj Lalli (Bishop Fleming), Rob Nagra (Deutsche Bank), Anthony Tattum (Leopard Co), Martin Ward (Silicon Square Consulting), Claire Umney (Alwayse Engineering), Suzie Branch-Haddow (BMet College) and Sharon Thompson, Deputy Mayor of the West Midlands.
The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in May, which brings together businesses, charities and civic leaders from across Greater Birmingham to recognise excellence, innovation and community impact.
