Top fundraisers recognised
Scotland’s best and most innovative fundraisers will be honoured at a special ceremony in Glasgow in June.
The awards are an opportunity to recognise Scotland's best fundraisers and honour their success.
Held at the Doubletree by Hilton Glasgow Central hotel, the awards are the showpiece event of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising Scotland’s conference, taking place on 9 and 10 June.
Speaking at the announcement of the finalists, Susan Williams, joint chair of the Scottish Fundraising Conference Committee, said: “All across Scotland we have charities providing vital services that so many people are dependent on, especially during the last two years.
“This has only been possible thanks to the dedication and hard work of fundraisers raising the much-needed funds to enable this. We have some of the very best fundraisers here in Scotland and these awards will recognise and celebrate their successes.”
