YouthLink Scotland and Young Scot set to star at this year’s Scottish Charity Awards!
Run annually by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO), the Scottish Charity Awards celebrate the best of Scotland’s voluntary sector. The Scotland’s Young People’s Forest (SYPF) project has been recognised as a finalist in the Climate Conscious category and are encouraging those in and around Scotland to vote for them.
This year’s shortlist includes 32 individuals and organisations from charities and voluntary groups across the country following a record-breaking number of nominations. While a judging panel will determine the winners under nine distinct categories, members of the public can have their say by voting for their favourite overall entry in the People’s Choice Award.
‘Getting shortlisted feels amazing! Scotland’s Young People’s Forest is a project that’s given me so much hope over the past few years so it’s really exciting for everybody’s hard work to be recognised in this way. I hope it helps more people to find us and share in what we’re creating.’ Josie, Youth Leadership Panel
‘This means a lot to me and should mean a lot to Scotland’s young people in general as it shows that the impact we are having is being recognised throughout Scotland and it shows that Scotland’s young people can have this big an impact when given the chance. It is important that SYPF is recognised this way as we can be a visible example to young people and other environmental organisations that are looking to try and achieve something like this and can show how well it can work.’ Finlay, Youth Leadership Panel
The 2023 Scottish Charity Awards winners will be announced at a celebratory awards ceremony in Edinburgh on 23 June 2023 – hosted by TV presenter Sally Magnusson.
Anna Fowlie, Chief Executive of SCVO, said: “This year’s Scottish Charity Awards are a fabulous opportunity to celebrate the exceptional individuals and groups within our vibrant sector.
“This year’s record-breaking number of nominations underlines the strength of Scotland’s voluntary sector, and the crucial work that we see from charities and voluntary organisations across the country. The hard work and dedication of people and organisations like these 32 finalists are making Scotland a better place to live and work.
“There is still a chance to have your own voice heard by voting in the People’s Choice Award. Don’t be late – participate!”
