Introduction

Creative project work and partnerships are the lifeblood of Scotland’s voluntary sector. With innovative ideas and plenty of enthusiasm, it is possible to make a significant impact through a project or partnership.  

This award celebrates the achievements of projects and partnerships that have had a particularly special year. We are interested in how you adapted to the inevitable challenges you faced during delivery, but still achieved a positive impact.  

Please note that corporate fundraising partnerships are not eligible for this award.

Judging criteria

Our judges want to understand the roles of the different organisations engaged in the partnership. We know that working together can take longer and you can face more challenges than delivering a piece of work alone. Judges are looking for evidence of how all partners adapted to working together, and achieved a great result.

In your answers and supporting evidence you should try to include:

  • A description of who is involved in the partnership and information on their roles
  • The story of what made this year special
  • Reflection on how you adapted to work well together
  • Facts and figures that highlight how you’ve achieved your success
  • Real-life examples of the impact of the work you’ve done, which may include case studies and/or testimonials.
