Full list of finalists for the Helping it Happen Awards 2022 revealed

This year marks the 6th annual Helping it Happen Awards, taking place on 5 October, and supported by headline sponsor NatureScot.

Over the last two weeks, we’ve revealed the finalists of our nine categories for 2022. Following on from the amazing quality of nominees in recent years, this year we once again saw a fantastic number of entries for the awards. Our full list of finalists can be found below.

We are delighted to finally return to host the awards ceremony in person at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh, and we are more excited than ever to celebrate the very best that rural Scotland has to offer. Showcasing businesses, estates, farms, and individuals from all over the country, these nominees have established new sustainable projects, engaged with their local communities, and are successfully thriving within their respective industries post-covid.

Tickets for our black tie awards ceremony and dinner are available now, starting from £77+VATpp for members, or a table of ten for £770+VAT. Information about the ceremony is available on our website now, but if you would like to book a table of ten, please contact our Events Coordinator Jane Laing who will be happy to help.
