The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations is inviting community groups, charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises to enter the Scottish Charity Awards.
The awards aim to demonstrate the vital contribution that the sector makes to society across Scotland.
The awards will be announced at a gala dinner in Edinburgh on 10 June 2010.
Martin Sime, the Chief Executive of the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations said: “The last year has been really tough for many charities and voluntary organisations struggling to cope with the effects of the recession. That’s why it’s more important than ever for us to get together and celebrate success”.

* Charity of the Year – For an organisation that has made significant achievements in the last year
* Campaign of the Year – For an advertising or media campaign that brought a single issue to public recognition
