Charity worker’s nomination

A West Lothian charity worker has been nominated for a top award.

Anne Gurney from No Limits is in the running for a 2017 Scottish Charity Award. Organised by Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO), the awards, which are free to enter, celebrate the life-changing work of charities, community groups and individuals dedicated to making Scotland a better place to live.

A spokesman for the club said: “We are extremely proud that Anne’s contributions to the Voluntary Sector have been recognised and urge everyone to go online and vote for her.”

Martin Sime, chief executive, SCVO, said: “Year after year Scottish charities and voluntary organisations prove themselves to be beacons for creativity, tenacity and innovation.

“This year’s Scottish Charity Awards finalists demonstrate these qualities in abundance and are shining examples of how people can work together to make Scotland a better place.”

All shortlisted entries will also compete for the People’s Choice Award which will be decided by the public via online voting.
