Commenting on the National Awards, Ruth Moore, Head of Events, Institute of Fundraising, said: “A good number of inspiring and professional individuals and organisations were nominated and considering the exceptional quality this year, the judges certainly faced some difficult decisions in selecting the shortlist.

“It’s great to see fundraising innovation prized so highly, especially during this difficult period for charities, and Awards night promises to be very exciting.”
