Has your organisation had a fantastic year despite the recession? Have you responded to hard times by developing new business, or establishing an innovative partnership with other similar groups, private or public sector bodies? Do you believe that your campaign has changed the world this year? 

If so, it's time to enter to the Scottish Charity Awards 2010. The awards, now in their fourth year, uniquely honour excellence across the whole voluntary sector in Scotland. Previous winners have ranged from national charities, such as RNIB Scotland, to local community groups, such as the West Alness Residents Association. 

The awards recognise innovation and excellence in five categories: Community Action, Campaign of the Year, the Partnership Award, Charity Champion, and Charity of the Year.

The awards will be presented at a glittering ceremony in the Mansfield Traquair Centre on 10 June 2010.
