Today our volunteer driver John has completed an urgent milk run from the Northumbria Hub in Morpeth down to The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
We are very thankful and proud of each of our volunteers for the time they give to our charity. Every three months we have the honour to present our volunteers with recognition awards for achieving milestone shift totals.
Last night at our AGM we were very pleased to present the ‘Volunteer of year 2024’ award to Alan Johnson.
He was nominated by his fellow volunteers as, for many years, he has regularly undertaken full evening shifts and can always be relied on. He is also a big part of our training team as he gives lots of personal time to carry out driver assessments.
Congratulations and thank you Alan for all that you do for our charity!
Thank you to NFU Mutual at Morpeth for their very generous donation to our charity.
