A charity that supports over 160 people in Inverness has been crowned as Charitable Organisation of the Year at the Highland Heroes Awards 2025.

Special Needs Action Project (SNAP) was founded nearly 30 years ago to improve the lives of young people with additional needs by providing social experiences, building self-esteem and encouraging independence.

They aim to enhance young people's social experiences and encourage the development of social skills and independence, while giving parents and carers a chance to recharge their batteries.

Today, the charity is based at the Haven Centre and at Drummond School, and supports over 160 children, young people and adults, between the ages of three and 40-plus.

SNAP chief executive, Dawn Walker said: “Thank you so much to everyone who voted for our organisation, it means the world to us.

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners from tonight. It was a truly inspiring evening. Our community is incredible.”

Meet all the winners of the Highland Heroes Awards 2025.
