Fifth Estate Group named CIPR Sectoral Group of the Year

The Fifth Estate Group has been named the Chartered Institute of Public Relations’ Sectoral Group of the Year. The Group, which supports anyone working in public relations and communications in the voluntary sector, has been honoured with the award for, amongst other things, maintaining an active calendar of event and for strong membership engagement and recruitment.

Jane Wilson, CIPR CEO
Aside from offering their members a rich and varied calendar of events, last year the Fifth Estate Group Produced the “Get Heard” Report – an analysis of the opinions and impact of public relations professionals in the not for profit sector – which is an extremely valuable contribution to our understanding of a major sector. Gill Dandy, last year’s Chair of the Fifth Estate Group, and the rest of the Committee are to be congratulated for their excellent work and for making the Group such a success.

We are naturally delighted to receive this award and that our work with Not for Profit communications professionals has been recognised by the wider public relations industry. The Get Heard report was a major piece of research aimed at highlighting the strategic impact PR can and should have within our sector. The recognition of its contribution is significant.
