The top Scottish fundraisers have been announced at The Institute of Fundraising
Scotland’s Annual conference.
Quarriers’ Morag Fleming was named fundraiser of the
year award in recognition of her role in increasing regular gifts to her charity
and for her voluntary work to support high standards in the sector. Morag said that
none of what she had achieved could have been done without the “inspiration and 
motivation we receive from the people that Quarriers support.”

The volunteer of the year award went to

prolific marathon runner Tommy Armstrong who, over 20 years, has raised over £60,000
for several charities by taking part in many road races, all at his own expense,
including some 31 marathons.
