Last year’s Gold Prize winner, Edinburgh’s Kilted Lobster Restaurant, was selected
for providing gourmet dining experiences to the homeless and to families who didn’t
dine out due to the special needs of one or more in their number, as well as helping
those without access to education to train and find work. It gave its prize money
to Edinburgh City Mission.

 

Other special commendation Small Business Big Heart winners have come from all over
the UK including Kent, Moray, Dorset, Greater Manchester, Aberdeenshire, The Midlands,
Norfolk, Greater London and Cheshire.

 

Rufus Bazley, Marketing Director at BusinessesForSale.com said:

 

> “Our own research shows how important the small business community is in terms
> of the support it delivers to small, low profile charities in their localities.
> And we know the motivation to help is not a cynical marketing ploy but a sincere
> desire to make a difference.”
> “Every year the number of businesses applying grows and the Small Business Big
> Heart Award is one of my personal highlights too.  The applications are all incredibly
> moving and choosing an overall winner is never easy, but once we have it’s great
> to meet the winners and hear first-hand about their incredible work.”
