Operation Noah's Bright Now Campaign was awarded 'Campaign of the Year' on 15 May by SMK (Sheila McKechnie Foundation) Awards 2024.

The citation said: 'Due to their campaigning, there's been a complete divestment from fossil fuels by the Church of England's National Investing Bodies.'

Ruth Valerio presented the award to Operation Noah's chair of trustees, Revd Dr Darrell Hannah and Bright Now Campaign Director Clare Fussell.

The SMK Awards celebrate campaigns drawn from across civil society, led by one or many, that lead to change that benefits all. They celebrate individuals or campaign groups that take on big organisations and challenge vested power.

Operation Noah is an ecumenical Christian charity, founded in 2007 by Christian Ecology Link and based in the UK, that campaigns exclusively on climate change. Trustees are cross-denominational, with members from the Catholic, Anglican and free churches. The charity is managed by the Chair and Board, with a small number of support staff.
