Special mention was paid to Sarah Winckless, MBE of Scottish Huntington’s Association,
who was crowned Charity Champion – a category which recognises the outstanding achievements
made by an individual for their organisation and the local community.

The Foundation has donated over £1m to charities and non-profits throughout the 
UK this year and the Awards celebrated the 21 projects funded in 2016. There were
four categories, with winners receiving £5,000 and runners-up receiving £2,500 to
support their projects.

Ann Loughrey, trustee and executive officer of the ScottishPower Foundation, said:

> “Each year we work with projects that continue to motivate and impress us; we 
> have all been touched by their great work and it’s only right we can give them
> something back.”
