SMK Campaigner Awards

SMK was established in 2005 to help develop a new generation of campaigners who are tackling the root causes of injustice. Set up in memory of Dame Sheila McKechnie, SMK is entirely dedicated to helping campaigners create positive and lasting social change. The annual SMK Campaigner Awards provide a support programme for emerging and grassroots campaigners.
The awards are for individuals who are new to campaigning or operating with few resources and who show passion, tenacity and the potential to create change – locally, nationally or globally. You might not see yourself as a “campaigner” but if you are demonstrating commitment to a cause then SMK wants to hear from you. The awards scheme offers a development package to winners, the aim is to equip campaigners with the skills they need to make a greater impact and achieve real change.

The package of support does not include cash prizes but uses a model of action learning to share knowledge and acquire skills. Deadline for applications is 12 noon GMT on Monday 28 June 2010. For further information please visit: SMK Campaigner Awards
