SolarAid shortlisted for Rising Star award

We are delighted to announce that SolarAid has been shortlisted for the prestigious, New Energy Rising Star award, at the Rosenblatt New Energy Awards 2010.

Hosted in London's Natural History Museum, the event taking place February 25 recognises charities that have made an outstanding contribution to the renewable energy sector over the past 12 months.

The ceremony celebrates small renewable-energy businesses that create a buzz in the market. Judged on innovation, potential and influence on government policy it rewards ambition and vision.

SolarAid has had an award winning twelve months. In September 2009 we were presented with the Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year award and in November our very own Campaigner and Volunteer, Gwyn Roberts was rewarded for all his hard work by receiving the Archant Environmentalist of the Year award.

With the success of The Times Christmas Charity Appeal and recent approval for Gold Standard credits in Sub Saharan Africa, 2010 is set to be an even better year.
