Award for food blogger and fundraiser Martha Payne
Martha, a ten-year-old schoolgirl from Lochgilphead in Argyll, was honoured by ScotsCare for helping charity Mary’s Meals.
The award – made to coincide with celebrations of the life and works of poet and humanitarian Robert Burns – recognised her fundraising campaign to support schools in Malawi, south-east Africa, through her blog about school dinners which has raised more than £120,000.

Martha began her blog in April last year. An attempt to ban her photos met with a storm of internet protest.
