BHA: Atheist bus campaign shortlisted for prestigious award

The BHA has welcomed news that the Atheist Bus Campaign has been shortlisted for a prestigious Institute of Fundraising award. The campaign has been shortlisted in the category of ‘most innovative fundraising campaign’.

The awards are an annual event which bring together some of the most experienced and respected people in the fundraising field. The panel of judges includes the Chief Executive of the Institute of Fundraising and the Director of Fundraising for Comic Relief.

Hanne Stinson, BHA Chief Executive explained, ‘The Bus Campaign was nominated because it used a number of different online fundraising tools in such an innovative way – the Just Giving website had never seen donations come in so fast. The campaign’s amazing success has proved that there are thousands of people who felt that their voice has been ignored and has massively increased awareness of the BHA’s work. Being shortlisted for this award is a very welcome bonus.”

The winner will be announced on 6 July at a ceremony in central London.
