We’re delighted to have been shortlisted by Charity Times for a Charity of the Year Award 2020 – a prestigious national award which celebrates excellence amongst charities and not for profit organisations from across the UK.
We are one of six charities to have been selected as a finalist in the category of Charity of the Year: with an income of more than £10 million. Other finalists in this category include Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation, Blood Cancer UK and Elton John AIDS Foundation.

The shortlisted charities all demonstrated how their vision, work and commitment stands apart from the rest.
