The Charity Awards 2010 have arrived. Tomorrow ten new charities will be recognised for their accomplishments and achievements in the sector.

In the last of our catch-ups with previous Charity Award winners we go back a decade to the 2000 Awards, where Sense International won the international aid and development category.

Former director of Sense, Richard Hawkes, who now leads Scope talks about how the Charity Awards helped a small organisation gain credibility and endorsement in the sector.
