We're delighted to announce the winners of our annual Anthony Nolan Supporters Awards, following the awards ceremony at the Tower of London on Thursday 22 November.
The event has been taking place for the past four years, and has seen hundreds of awards presented to deserving fundraisers, families of patients, donors, clinical supporters and journalists, all of whom have supported Anthony Nolan in a number of ways.
Award nominees are decided by a mixture of recommendations from within the organisation and public nominations.
Public nominations for the John Petchey Hero of the Year and The Shirley Nolan Award for Special Recognition closed on Monday 20 August 2018.
Winners were selected by a panel of judges from Anthony Nolan, chaired by our Chief Executive, Henny Braund.
