Shaper/Caper shortlisted for national charity award

Run annually by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO), the Scottish Charity Awards celebrate the best of Scotland’s voluntary sector.

This year’s shortlist includes 44 individuals and organisations from charities and voluntary groups across the country. While a judging panel will determine the winners under nine distinct categories, members of the public can have their say by voting for their favourite overall entry in the People’s Choice Award – by visiting scvo.scot/vote - before 5pm on Friday 20 May 2022.

Shaper/Caper has been recognised as a finalist in the Digital Citizen category and are encouraging those in Dundee to vote for them.

In January this year, we welcomed Iliana to Team Shaper/Caper in a brand new role - Community Engagement Dance Artist. Iliana joined us as part of The Rank Foundation’s Time to Shine programme. Let’s get to know her!

We’re delighted to welcome two new members to our Board of Trustees. We asked Victoria and Linzi why they've chosen to join Shaper/Caper and what they're looking forward to getting stuck in to! Here’s what they had to say.

Thanks to the Scottish Government’s Community Recovery Fund 2, we have been able to provide the following very talented people with bursaries to develop their amazing ideas throughout February. They’ll be showing us all what they’ve been up to at special sharings of their work on 26 and 28 February.
