The award, which this year was sponsored by Rutherglen & Cambuslang Housing Association, was presented to the Jenny at EVH’s Annual Conference at the Fairmont Hotel in St Andrews.

Jenny was presented with a trophy and a £500 cheque by celebrity Edward Reid.

The achievements of the other finalists Linda Mason from Forth Housing Association and Janet Strang of Cunninghame Housing Association were also congratulated by the judging panel, who had the difficult task of selecting just one winner.

Now in its 19th year, the Helen McGregor Award recognises the hard work and achievements of just one of the many volunteers in the social employer and volunteer sectors.

Nominations will open in the spring looking for a worthy winner for the 2020 award.
