Charities to Benefit from HIPBMA

Thank you to everyone who attended or supported the Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards 2025 and helping to make it such an enjoyable and successful night.

It was our biggest ever attendance with some 260 media representatives from Shetland to Argyll and from Moray to the Outer Hebrides present, serving print, broadcast and online media, as well as politicians and heads of public and private organisations.

The ball raised £3,300 which will benefit four charities – Safe Strong and Free, The Oxygen Works, James Support Group and Prostate Scotland/Maggies Highland

The ball has now raised more than £125,000 for good causes, with all the money staying in the Highlands and Islands.  

Thanks again and look forward to seeing you in 2026.
