Sheila McKechnie Awards 2005

I'd just like to draw your attention to the Sheila McKechnie Foundation's recently announced call for applications for their fantastic new awards scheme. For those of you who might not know, the SMF was set up to help the next generation of campaigners get their voices heard and create real change. It's based on a belief in the importance of active campaigners like McKechnie to our society, to fight against injustice and for progressive thinking, action and tangible change.

The award winners will get an amazing package of support including the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring, the shadowing of people in positions of influence and networking. The charity's patron is Gordon Brown and there are several equally high-profile people involved so the winners will really be able to access an amazing network of political power and lobbying opportunities. So get the word out and apply!
