**Parliamentarians from both Houses and from the three major political parties have
been nominated by charities for the awards, hosted by ePolitix.com, the politics
portal.**

The awards are designed to recognise the hard work and time that parliamentarians
have devoted to promoting charitable causes and campaigns in Parliament, through
legislation, to constituents and the wider public. They cover work done between 
July 2002 and May 2003.

Charities were asked to nomiate parliamentarians who they felt had championed charitable
causes in six categories: animal welfare, children and youth, disability, health,
international and older people.

During October 2003, everyone working in Parliament with a parliament.uk email address
has been able to vote for the Charity Champion in each category. The winners will
be announced at an awards ceremony on 2 December 2003 at the QEII Conference Centre
in London.
