The 2025 edition, which is being sponsored by the Football Association, will be a celebration of community that follows on from the completion of the FvH campaign’s annual Month of Action in February.

Prizes will be handed out in 12 categories alongside entertainment and festivities as the gala night is held north of the border for the first time, hosted by FvH Scotland at the beautiful Oran Mor venue in Glasgow’s West End on Friday, 7 March. Co-hosting the awards show will be gay former footballer Zander Murray.
