CFINE shortlisted for national charity award

CFINE is set to star at this year’s Scottish Charity Awards. Run annually by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO), the Scottish Charity Awards celebrate the best of Scotland’s voluntary sector.

CFINE CEO Fiona Rae said: “CFINE is delighted to be shortlisted for The SCVO Charity of the Year Award. The positive impact we make across the communities we support to alleviate the pressures people are facing due to being affected by poverty, would not be possible without the hard work, passion, commitment, and enthusiasm of all the staff and volunteers; it is fantastic recognition for the team”.

The 2023 Scottish Charity Awards winners will be announced at a celebratory awards ceremony in Edinburgh on June 23, 2023 - hosted by TV presenter Sally Magnusson.

Martina Chukwuma-Ezike issued the call as the Asthma and Allergy Foundation launched a policy report designed to help asthmatics whose symptoms, she says, are desperately out of control.
