Melanie May | 8 June 2020 | News
Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice has won this year’s National Fundraising Award’s Fundraising Campaign of the Year, with Macmillan, RNLI, UNICEF UK and Greenpeace UK also among the 2020 winners.
The award ceremony usually takes place during July’s annual Fundraising Convention. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Chartered Institute of Fundraising, like many other organisations, has had to change its plans for the event.
The Fundraising Convention is now taking place online in July, while the award winners were announced on 29 May on Twitter.
In full, the winners are:
Individual categories
- Young Fundraiser of the Year: Ibrahim Yousaf
- Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year: Rachel Clark – We Hear You
- Rising Star: Naomi Tomlinson – Suzy Lamplugh Trust
- Fundraiser of the Year: Eddie Taylor – Alive & Kicking
