Nominate now for volunteer awards

-

The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisati­ons is calling for charities and individual­s to enter its annual charity awards.

Now in its 15th year, the Scottish Charity Awards highlight the best, most innovative and effective charity organisati­ons and individual­s from the past year, and celebrate those who make a difference.

The volunteers’body said over the last 12 months their sector has never been needed more.

Categories include Employee of the Year, Trustee of the Year, Community Action and Campaign of the Year.

The deadline for entries is May 14 and the winners are announced on October 1.

Last year the awards ceremony was hosted online for the first time, attracting thousands of bookings from people looking to recognise the amazing work of the voluntary sector in Scotland.

All finalists will also be entered into the running for the People’s Choice Award, giving members of the public a chance to vote for their favourite finalist to win.

Anna Fowlie, chief executive of SCVO, said:“The Scottish Charity Awards showcase some of the most inspiring organisati­ons and individual­s in the country.

“The past year has been challengin­g for everyone, but we have seen so many voluntary organisati­ons providing incredible support to people and communitie­s across the country.

“They have had to adapt and deliver new services, all while coping with limited resources and increased demand.

“We want the awards to be an opportunit­y for this vital work to be both recognised and celebrated.”
