Shivia wins International Charity Award
The 18th Annual Charity Times Awards were hosted in London on Wednesday 4th October 2017 and we were delighted that, for the third year running, Shivia was shortlisted for an award alongside three other charities – AfriKids, Interpal and Media Legal Defence Initiative.
It was an honour to be considered for this award by the panel of 12 independent judges and when we arrived for the ceremony at the Park Plaza Westminster hotel we already felt like winners.
So it came as a genuine but very welcome shock to be announced the overall winner, as you can see by the reaction from our team here:
We have received wonderful feedback from many supporters since the announcement, including this on Facebook from Nishant Lalwani, one of our trustees:
