The feeling hasnโt worn off and weโre not sure it ever will.๐๐พ๐๐ฝ๐๐ป

Itโs a celebration of every long night, every moment of showing up, every single act of love poured into our work since day one. ๐
Weโre still soaking in the moment they called our name. It was ๐๐ฑ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ . It was ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ . It was ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐. And in that one moment, it felt like the world saw what we see every day - ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ, the steady growth, the deep impact. ๐ซถ
Winning reminded us of why we do what we do:
โ The families who now have food parcels and feel a bit more seen.
โ The young people who walked in quietly at first, but now raise their hands to lead.
โ The New Scots who once felt alone, now surrounded by peers they call friends.
โจ The shy smiles of young people that has now turned into confident voices. Also the awkward hellos that became loud laughs.
โ The moments of connection our young people keep building week after week.
Then came the part that took our breath away- when SCVO announced that out of 41 charities and more than 16,000 votes cast across Scotland, Touch of Love had received the highest number. ๐
