VHS and our Scottish Community Link Worker Network are excited to announce the finalists for our Scottish Community Link Worker Network Awards 2025. This is an important announcement as for the first time ever, we’re shining a spotlight on the Link Workers and the teams making a real difference across Scotland.
“We want to thank everyone who took the time to enter the awards this year. This is our very first Scottish Community Link Worker Network Awards and it’s so important to recognise the great work being done by the teams and individuals across Scotland. Our judges Christine Carlin, Chair of VHS and Justina Murray, Chief Executive of Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs were really taken by the standard of entries and they had to make some very difficult decisions. We look forward to announcing the winner at our SCLWN Annual Conference in Glasgow on May 7th.”
