The awards programme is now in its 11th year. and the 2024 ANSAs is also during our 50th Anniversary Year.
During this time, we have seen hundreds of awards presented to deserving fundraisers, families of patients, donors, journalists, clinical, scientific, celebrity, and political supporters, all of whom have supported Anthony Nolan in multiple ways.
For 2024 the award nominees are ten categories for recommendations from within the organisation and one category for public nomination. The ceremony is a chance for us to thank the incredible supporters that make our lifesaving work possible.
Nominate someone special
If you know an inspiring young hero or someone who constantly goes above and beyond for Anthony Nolan, then we want to hear about it! Nominate yourself or someone you think that deserves recognition in the Shirley Nolan Award.
The Shirley Nolan Award
This award is named in honour of Shirley Nolan who, 50 years ago, was so determined to save her son Anthony’s life that she set up the world’s first stem cell register. This created a lifeline for patients in need of a transplant to find a matching donor.
The award recognises an individual or group who, like Shirley, has made a significant contribution to Anthony Nolan, going above and beyond in their support.
We’re looking for people who have shown an exceptional level of commitment to supporting Anthony Nolan’s work between 1 November 2022 and 31 December 2023. These awards aren’t just about how much money has been raised or how many hours someone has spent volunteering – it’s about the unsung heroes who make Anthony Nolan’s lifesaving work possible.
Entries must be submitted by 30th May 2024.
Finalists will be invited to the ANSAs ceremony at the OXO Tower London on 10th October 2024.
Winners will be selected by a panel of judges from Anthony Nolan, chaired by our Chief Executive, Henny Braund.
