The SIT-UP Awards is an annual award at the Edinburgh Fringe to reward and support theatre to achieve greater social impact.

It is an initiative of the UK registered charity Changing Ideas Limited

The following have made it happen:-

David Graham is a retired businessman and active philanthropist. Based in London and Edinburgh, he is a Fringe angel and festival fan – enjoying 75 shows in 2017. One play in particular caught David off guard and captured his imagination – Adam challenged him and changed his opinions. David was struck at that moment to do something, but there was no obvious route for action. This award and initiative is the result of that experience.
