Scottish Charity Awards

Posted on 31 January 2023 by Christie McAlpine

Now in its 17th year, SCVO's Scottish Charity Awards celebrate the very best of Scotland's vibrant voluntary sector. The awards are designed to highlight the incredible organisations, inspiring people and innovative projects that have made an immeasurable difference to the communities they support over the past year.

This year's award categories are Employee of the Year, Trustee of the Year, Community Action, Campaign of the Year, Charity of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Digital Citizen, Pioneering Project and Climate Conscious. Winners will be decided by a panel of judges and announced at our celebratory awards ceremony in Edinburgh on 23 June 2023.

All of our 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. We received an overwhelming response last year, with hundreds of applications and thousands of votes cast in the People’s Choice Award, and we hope to encourage even more applications this year!

Applications will close at 12 noon on Friday 17 March 2023, so for more information about applying and helpful tips for your application, visit the SCVO website - https://scvo.scot/scottish-charity-awards/apply
