Campaigning is at the heart of Scotland’s voluntary sector – transforming attitudes, changing laws, and raising awareness of important issues that reflect the values of the sector. This award celebrates campaigns that mobilised people and secured a positive change.
If your campaign finished with a bang this year or achieved a significant milestone, this award is for you!
Please note that fundraising campaigns are not eligible for this award.
