No, not an obscure reference to Jeremy Smith's fanatical devotion to Chelsea FC, Z/Yen is proud and delighted to announce that it has been shortlisted for a coveted charity services award. A star studded event in September (alright, perhaps not, but Rory Bremner is hosting), the UK Charity Awards is the UK voluntary sector's equivalent of the Oscars. To add to the kudos for Z/Yen, The Children's Society have been shortlisted at the same event for the Best Practice Award, based on our joint initiative, MART (see Now and Z/Yen’s passim). Ian Harris has been preparing his impromptu acceptance speech (just in case, you understand) since we learned of the shortlisting. Ian is also trying to master the art of spontaneously bursting into tears when mentioning his supportive family and friends. Seriously, it is a great tribute to the work of the Z/Yen team, not least Marie Logan and Mary O'Callaghan.
