Nominations Open - Shelia McKechnie Foundation

Posted: 22 January 2021

Can you help find those who have made change happen most effectively and courageously? The Sheila McKechnie Foundation unleashes civil society’s capacity to create profound, long-term change.

Each year, SMK celebrates the best campaigns and campaigners. Its interest is in finding those who have made change happen – most effectively, creatively and courageously. 

That change might be in law or policy; it might be in attitudes, social norms or behaviour; it could be in how services are provided, or in the protection of a service or asset. A campaign could be aimed at righting a wrong, or holding a body to account. Entries can be local or national. And they might be nominating an individual, a movement, an organisation or a coalition. 

What all entries will have in common is the determination to secure a specific change that will make things better – whether for an individual, a local neighbourhood or for every single one of us.
