GoodSense ClubA network for a better world

The Club's main activity

The GoodSense Awards

We look for the people who have helped someone who was not a relative, with nothing to gain from it, and we put it in writing that it happened. Then we say it in public, in front of other people.

year of the first award

What you receive

Recognition, not payment

The award has no financial value and carries no obligations. It is a certificate stating what that person did, presented at a public ceremony in front of other people.

Its worth is in what it means: someone noticed. And it is an example that travels, because people learn from those they know far more than from any campaign.

In the end the reason is simple: a “thank you” said in public is the least we can give to someone who helped others with nothing to gain from it.

The recognition may be withdrawn if the person who received it stops behaving according to the Charter of Values.

Who we honour

Ten categories

They came out of watching who was being nominated, not from deciding at a desk. If you think one is missing, it can be proposed.

“Science and conscience” doctors

Those who treated people according to the Hippocratic oath, even when it was inconvenient.

Independent reporters

Those who told what they saw without depending on whoever was paying them.

Organisers of good sense

Those who bring people together and make things happen.

Founders of groups

Those who started something where there had been nothing.

Volunteers

Those who give their time without anyone asking them to.

Activists

Those who put themselves on the line for a cause that concerns others.

Artists of good sense

Those who carry these values through art instead of speeches.

Champions of their culture abroad

Those who keep alive a bond that would be easier to let go.

Club directors

Those who carry the organisational work, the part nobody sees.

Club volunteers

Those who keep the awards, the contacts and the pages running.

Every name

The roll of honour

All 227 people and groups honoured since 2020, in the order they were entered on the roll. 165 have already received their award in person; the other 62 have been approved and are waiting for a ceremony. 105 of them have their ceremony on film: where you see the camera icon, it opens the recording in a new tab. The videos are in Italian and are hosted on BitChute — some company and school networks block that site, which is why a link may not open. Several awards were often presented at the same ceremony, so more than one name leads to the same recording.

Who organises them

The GoodSense Ambassadors

Without them the Club would be a website. They are the people who look for those who deserve an award and bring the ceremonies to their own area.

  • They choose who to honour. They find people and groups who have helped others, and check what they did before proposing them.
  • They organise one award ceremony a month. Public, in person, in front of other people. That is the part that makes the difference between a certificate and real recognition.
  • They coordinate a small team. They don't work alone: they bring together the people who help them locally.

Ambassadors 2025

Celebrated at the meeting of 15 December 2025.

  • Cristina De Michielis
  • Laura Groppi
  • Alberto Negri
  • Gianfranco Ruggiero
  • Andrea Stramezzi
  • Giuseppe Tritto

You don't apply with a form. You become an ambassador after joining the Club and doing something: nominating people, organising a meeting, keeping the contacts going in a city where there is nobody yet. If there is no ambassador in your area, that is probably where one is needed most.

Over to you

Nominate someone for an award

Do you know someone who has helped others and never asked for anything? Tell us about them. Two things interest us: the actions they took and the results that came of them.

They don't have to be well known. In fact they almost never are. Every nomination is reviewed before it becomes an award.

Nominate someone Who is still waiting
