Nominate your 2020 Volunteer of the Year

It may not have been the year we were expecting, but the Trust volunteers still went above and beyond to support young people in recovery from cancer.

So who's been your 2020 Luke Gilbert Volunteer of the Year?

• Maybe it's someone you loved spending virtual time with on Trust Tuesday Hangouts, 'A Conversation About...' sessions or as part of the Page Turners Book Club?
• Perhaps it's someone who's inspired you through the Wider Horizons career sessions or 'How To' Tutorials?
• Has there been a volunteer on our Sound Waves podcast whose story or advice has had an impact on you?
• Is there someone whose fundraising exploits have just blown your mind this year?

Or maybe it's something completely different altogether! Whoever it is and whatever they have done we want to hear all about it.

The closing date for the 2020 award is Sunday 28 March 2021 and the winner will be announced at the Trust’s annual Volunteer Training Day in the spring. So there is plenty of time to think about who made a difference to you last year or for someone to still do something incredible that warrants you nominating them as your Volunteer of the Year.

The Volunteer of the Year Award was introduced in 2017 to celebrate the life of young person and volunteer, Luke Gilbert, who sadly passed away in 2016. Anyone can make a nomination. The only criteria is that a volunteer embodies Luke’s incredible personality, sense of humour and fun, enthusiasm and compassion. An independent panel, including Luke’s mum Julie, judges the nominations.
