Could we be bungee jumping for your charity next year?

Applications to be considered for our charity of the year 2016/17 are now closed.

If you would like to be considered for charity of the year 2017/2018, you should send a 6-page (max) proposal by Thursday 15 December 2016 to membership@scotmid.com. This proposal should highlight information on your charity; the geographic spread of your charity; suggestions on what Scotmid can do to help your charity and how your charity would go about engaging with our 5,000 staff members and 60,000 members.

We try to improve on what we do with our charity partner every year. When putting together a proposal, we generally ask charities to portray what has worked well for them previously with regards to both staff engagement and fundraising.
