We are the proud sponsor of the David & Goliath cateogory at the Sheila McKechnie Foundation (SMK) National Campaigner Awards, a celebration of the best campaigns and campaigners from across the United Kingdom.
The David & Goliath category recognises individuals or small campaign groups that take on much bigger organisations and challenge vested power. Our sponsorship is made in memory of our friend and former Director, Lord David Shutt.
This year’s shortlisted nominees are:
- End Our Cladding Scandal; their campaign calls on the Government to lead an urgent, national effort to fix the building safety crisis exposed by the Grenfell tragedy.
- Coventry Youth Activist’s #FacebookHasNoStandards campaign wants to change the way disability hate and ableism is handled by social media platforms.
- Operation Noah’s Bright Now campaign calls on Churches to accelerate the clean energy transition by divesting from fossil fuel companies and investing in climate solutions.
