Sense Scotland shortlisted for Scottish Charity of the Year
We have been shortlisted for the Charity of The Year in the TFN awards which are organised by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations and voluntary sector newspaper Third Force News.
The TFN Annual Charity Awards, will be presented at the annual dinner at the Gathering, Scotland's voluntary sector fair, on 24 May in Glasgow. The awards aim to recognise excellence across Scotland's voluntary sector and reflect the breadth of organisations working within the sector to support their communities.
Susan Smith, TFN editor, said: "We were absolutely delighted with the level of response we had from the sector to these awards. We've had a really high calibre of entry and choosing the short list was not an easy task. This will be an annual event to tie in with the Gathering, which is now well established as one of the highlights of the year for the voluntary sector, and so we are delighted that it is being supported by organisations across the sector, both big and small. Journalist Ruth Wishart will act as the host of the awards, and we hope to have a enjoyable ceremony that will add a new dimension to the Gathering dinner, which is always an excellent evening."
The TFN Annual Charity Awards are this year being handed out in five categories: Charity of the Year, Charity Champion, Community Action, Campaign of the Year and Partnership.
