We would like to thank all of the 32 charities who entered the contest, the photos were incredibly inspirational, and filled with the passion and energy that you all bring to this thriving sector. Not only do the images showcase the incredible work charities do in Buckinghamshire and the diversity of organisations in the borough, they were all of a really high standard and all of the key photographic elements were there. Some were taken by professional photographers, some by volunteers or staff members, even on a smartphone you can get great promotional images if you set it up correctly!

We will be presenting the winners with their prizes on Friday 13 May 2016 at our Social Media Training session in Aylesbury.
