The winners of the 2025 Aviva Broker Community Fund were announced and awarded at the awards event at the Honourable Artillery Company in London on 12th March 2025 after an application process that started in the autumn of 2024, when tens of brokers from across the UK got behind their causes to apply for a coveted share of the broker prize fund.
