For 21 years, the Card & Payments Awards has supported charitable causes such as Cancer Research, Childline, When You Wish Upon A Star, Anthony Nolan, First Love Foundation, Young Minds, and many more.  For our 20th Anniversary in 2025, we were proud to support The King's Trust. 

During this time over £300,000 has been raised for charity, enabling us to assist countless individuals in need. Each year, The Card & Payments Awards selects and supports a new charity.

In 2026, The Card & Payments Awards is proud to support Food Bank Aid.  

Food Bank Aid started as a result of the Covid pandemic and now supports 33 food banks across 11 boroughs, helping over 20,000 people each week. They deliver exactly what food banks request, over 100 essential items, tailored to cultural and dietary needs. Run by 400 volunteers, they’ve distributed over £5.5m worth of goods since launching in 2020.
