AWARD FOR GLOBAL ACTION

In memory of Guy Hughes, this is an Award for young people who are
following in his footsteps, by working towards a better future for all.

The Sheila McKechnie Foundation was established in 2005 to develop and support the next generation of campaigners. It supports and strengthens people who spot an injustice or a pressing need among vulnerable people and then go out and do something about it. It champions the right to campaign and brings together campaigners for mutual support and shared learning.

The project is a direct response to the tragic death of Guy Hughes – a brilliant young activist. His friends and family have joined forces with the Foundation to create a new award for young people aged between 18-24 who are taking global action on social injustice and environmental destruction. The award will provide gifted young campaigners with a package of mentoring and support that will strengthen their knowledge of campaigning techniques and develop links with leading campaigners in their field.
