Bethany is delighted to be winner of the Third Force News “Scottish Charity of the Year” Award for 2009, announced at the TFN Awards Dinner on Thursday 11 June 2009 at the Mansfield Traquair Centre, Edinburgh.

We are thrilled to have won such a coveted award. It is so encouraging to have our work commended in this way, especially at such a time as this, when the need for our services is greater than ever. This honour gives a real boost to all of our staff and volunteers as we continue to help hundreds of homeless and vulnerable people throughout Scotland every day.
