Finalists announced for awards which honour volunteer efforts in Aberdeen

The finalists of a popular Aberdeen third-sector award initiative have just been announced.

More than 30 individuals, charities and social enterprises have been shortlisted in this year’s Celebrate Aberdeen Awards.

Introduced last year, the event recognises and salutes the contribution which the region’s third sector makes to thousands of lives across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

The winners of the awards will be announced at a ceremony held at the P&J Live on September 14.

It follows on from the Celebrate Aberdeen Weekend, the colourful parade which will take over Union Street again on August 24.

Celebrate Aberdeen founder Morven Mackenzie said: “It was humbling and heart-warming to see the scope and standard of submissions we received this year.

“We knew we would get some great applications as there are so many amazing individuals and wonderful organisations working in the third sector in this area.

“The judges had an incredibly difficult time choosing the top three for each category and genuinely felt that absolutely everyone who entered deserves an award.

“The more work we do with the third sector in Aberdeen, the more we realise just how important it is to the city.

“There are so many charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups working incredibly hard for the benefit of others, often without a huge amount of recognition.

“We hope that, through Celebrate Aberdeen, we can help shine a light on just some of that work and some of those people.

“Our own team of Celebrate Aberdeen volunteers is incredibly proud to be able to play a part in helping promote some of the fantastic fundraising, volunteering and service provision that happens all the time here in the north-east.”

This year’s principal Celebrate Aberdeen sponsors are CNOOC International, Wood, CNR International and Chrysaor.
