Championing the sector with the Homeless Link Excellence Awards
The Homeless Link Excellence Awards 2019 are now open for entries.
There were so many interesting, thought-provoking, and inspiring entries to the Homeless Link Excellence Awards last year. Three have particularly lodged in my memory:
Why did these stand out for me, and for the other judges? Because, they were driven by a strong and simple idea, one where we thought, “yes, of course, we like the sound of that, that really makes sense”. In each case, they were delivered to a high standard, by people who obviously care about the quality of what they are doing. I am looking forward very much to the entries this year. l know that right across the country there are good things happening. But all too often they are hidden, and we don’t hear about them. So this is a chance to share what you are doing, to tell your story.
By submitting your entry, whether or not you end up as one the winners, I am sure there will be benefits. Your entry will be a way of reminding you and your colleagues what you are proud of. Your entry will be a way to celebrate and thank the hard-working and committed people who have achieved something worthwhile. And there is something more. Your entry will be helping to build a more aspirational, more effective movement. An awards scheme like this is a way of shining the spotlight on the things we can all be proud of, and reminds us that, sometimes with few resources, it is possible to do things very well, and really make a difference.
