🏆 WE WON! 🏆
Last night was an unforgettable moment for everyone connected with Megan's Space as we were honoured to receive the SCVO Scottish Charity Awards 2026 Charity of the Year (Medium Organisation).
What began six years ago with a family's determination to create something positive from unimaginable loss has grown into something far bigger than a charity.
As Rob Copeland said:
"Megan's Space is no longer a charity. It is a movement."
Over the last six years, Rob and Jenny Copeland, Megan's brothers Gary and Aaron, alongside our dedicated trustees, staff, volunteers, supporters, friends, families and professional partners, have worked tirelessly to build a respected, professional and effective organisation dedicated to supporting young people across Ayrshire and beyond.
Together, we have:
💜 Supported more than 2,000 young people through one-to-one services.
💜 Delivered awareness, self-care, prevention and mental health training across primary and secondary schools and Ayrshire College.
💜 Launched our Youth Group which runs every Wednesday.
💜 Helped create conversations, understanding and hope within communities.
This award belongs to every person who has supported Megan's Space along the way.
Whether you have volunteered your time, donated, attended an event, shared our message, trusted us with your story or helped a young person access support this achievement is yours too.
Most importantly, we want to thank the young people and families who have placed their trust in us over the past six years. Your courage, resilience and willingness to reach out for support are the reason Megan's Space exists.
Every conversation started, every life touched and every step taken towards hope matters.
We would also like to congratulate all of the finalists at the Scottish Charity Awards. We were humbled to be recognised alongside such incredible organisations, each making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. We celebrate your achievements and the positive impact you continue to make in communities across Scotland.
Jenny Copeland said:
"Thank you to each and every person who has played a part in the Megan's Space success story. But most importantly, please remember that nobody needs to suffer in silence."
If you are struggling, or if you know someone who may need support, please reach out. Together, there is hope, and together we can find a way forward.
This recognition is not the end of our journey it is motivation to keep going, to reach more young people, support more families and continue breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health.
💜 This award is for Megan.
💜 This award is for every young person and family we have supported.
💜 This award is for our volunteers, staff, trustees and supporters.
💜 This award is for our community.
Thank you for believing in our vision, supporting our mission and helping us create hope where it is needed most. We are humbled, proud and more determined than ever to continue this journey together.
