Howard Lake | 23 January 2008 | News
The Sheila McKechnie Foundation is accepting applications for its 2008 awards, designed to recognise people who are campaigning to change their world locally and globally.
Inspired by the legacy of Dame Sheila McKechnie, the award is for people at the early stages of a career in campaigning whether it be in a national pressure group or campaigning charity, as well as people who are campaigning on a voluntary basis and are relatively new to campaigning as an activity.
Sheila McKechnie Foundation Patron and Channel 4 presenter Jon Snow said of the Awards: “We want to make it possible for another Sheila, another passionate informed campaigner, to break out and raise a voice from beyond organised politics on behalf of those denied rights and opportunities”.
Applications close on 14 March 2008.
