We're delighted to announce the shortlist of nominees for the Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards 2015.
The prestigious Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards are back for their third year to celebrate, recognise and thank the outstanding supporters who keep the pioneering blood cancer charity moving forward.
This year we had an unprecedented volume of nominations from Anthony Nolan’s fantastic supporters all over the UK.
Our judging panel sifted through the nominations and it was very difficult to narrow down all of these incredibly selfless and deserving nominees into the shortlist below.
Henny Braund, Chief Executive at Anthony Nolan, said: “Reading through the huge volume of nominations about our supporters this year has been an inspiring and humbling experience. We wouldn’t be able to save lives every day without all those people who tirelessly campaign, raise funds, donate their time and spread the word about Anthony Nolan each year.
“Everyone who supports Anthony Nolan should be proud of their vital contribution to our lifesaving work.”
The Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards take place on 17th November 2015 at the House of Commons. Winners will be announced on the night.
