About the organization
Stephen Lloyd was an inspirational lawyer and innovator who dedicated his working life to advising charities and social enterprises and who pioneered significant developments in the sector. He died suddenly on 20th August 2014 while sailing in Newport Bay, a place that he loved dearly. The exact cause of his death is unknown. As well as developing his own social innovations, Stephen was an admirer and supporter of other social innovators and throughout his career at Bates Wells Braithwaite always had at least one project on the go, where he gave legal support to getting someone else’s project off the ground because he believed in its potential. The awards are about creating success and, in line with Stephen’s own approach, they will support early-stage projects that have real potential to achieve practical, sustainable social change.
