Six Degrees Wins NatWest Social Enterprise Impact Pioneer Award 2026

Six Degrees is delighted to announce that we were shortlisted in the NatWest Social Enterprise Impact Pioneer Awards 2026 in the Diversity Pioneers category and we won.

We have also been recognised in the first-ever NatWest Social Enterprise 100 Pioneering Impact Leaders list.

The judges recognised our commitment to designing and delivering our services through an intersectional lens, this enables us to understand people’s lives in complex and nuanced ways by recognising that aspects of identity such as age, gender, race, class, and migration status are not experienced as discrete categories.

The panel focused on strengths such as recruiting from the communities we serve ensuring the workforce reflect the population, first-language therapists to reduce barriers and preserve dignity, and our ongoing commitment to addressing the structural barriers that prevent or exclude communities from accessing brief psychological support preventing further distress, harm and inequity.

This award reflects the commitment shown across Six Degrees every day to deliver inclusive, culturally responsive, and community‑rooted support that genuinely impacts lives.

We are grateful for the continued support of our partners, communities, and colleagues.
