Nominate someone special for a Scottish Children’s Health Award

July 2, 2020

Children’s Health Scotland is seeking very special people (or teams) who have made or are making the difference to the lives of children. They are also seeking children who have shown strength and determination and kept going with their treatment, when it might have been so much easier to give up.

If you know someone then please nominate them today for a Scottish Children’s Health Award. These awards have been created to celebrate those who are making a difference to the health and wellbeing of children and young people in Scotland.  There are six specific award categories and nominations can be made until 5:00 pm on 12 July 2020. The Awards will be presented during Scottish Children’s Health Week 31 August to 6 September 2020

So this is the perfect opportunity to let them know about:

·       someone special at home, at work or in the community who has gone the extra mile to make a real difference to the life of a child or young person; or

·       a child or young person who has shown great courage and determination and has kept going in the face of adversity.

Check out the six categories below and please make a nomination today.

We are looking for someone special who has made a significant difference to a child or young person whilst they are undergoing treatment and whose care really stood out.

AWARD 2 | HEALTH AND WELLBEING AWARD
