It is with great pride that we can finally inform you, cops for kids has been recognised with an “Outstanding Achievement Award” in The Australian Charity Awards 2017.
Cops for Kids has been recognised as a Winner for Outstanding Achievement (OAA) in The Australian Charity Awards 2017. Now in their fifth year, The Australian Charity Awards are a partner program of The Australian Business Awards and have been established to identify, recognise and reward organisations for the exceptional work undertaken through their charitable initiatives.
Drew Bynoe, Chairman of Cops for Kids says they are proud to have been recognised for their contribution to the establishment of an Australia first paediatric pain research grant in partnership with the Australian Pain Society and the Australian Pain Relief Association. The aim of the grant is to support clinical research exploring various aspects of paediatric pain management. These studies will ultimately lead to improving health outcomes for children, not just in South Australia but worldwide.
“Cops for kids is honoured to be recognised as a Winner for Outstanding Achievement in the Australian Charity Awards 2017.
This award acknowledges the wonderful contribution the members of Cops for Kids make to the community of South Australia in the support of services for the health, welfare and safety of its children.
This award is recognition of each member of Cops for Kids and each member’s dedication to helping sick and disadvantaged children”.
“Today, charitable organisations are facing ongoing challenges in their operating environment. Measuring the performance and impact of their initiatives has become an important part of operations for the third sector,” Australian Charity Awards Program Director, Ms Tara Johnston, said.
“In this context, the sustainability of charities depends more than ever on their performance management and their ability to innovate. Being innovative has the potential to elevate charitable organisations in their efforts to achieve a long-term social impact and financial sustainability.
“The Australian Charity Awards 2017 are proud to acknowledge the role of charitable organisations in Australia and commend the eight organisations recognised for the execution of innovative initiatives that have significantly benefited charitable causes,” Ms Johnston added.
