Margaret Reardon (Abergavenny Sing with Us)
Margaret is the kind of person who makes everyone feel seen. She regularly reaches out to choir members who have stopped attending due to illness or injury, letting them know they are valued and missed. These quiet, consistent acts of kindness form the backbone of the choir community and inspire others to keep coming back.
Michelle Fay (Sherborne Shop)
Michelle has volunteered for over 20 years, and this past year put a special spotlight on her dedication. After breaking her ankle and later dislocating her shoulder, she refused to step back. She planted herself outside the shop during Breast Cancer Awareness Month - dressed in pink, arm in a sling - and raised a record amount in donations from passers-by. Her warmth, determination and commitment to the team are extraordinary.
Anna Baldos-Robinson (Nantwich Shop)
Anna has dedicated her time to training and coaching volunteers, with a particular focus on making sure those with additional learning needs feel like the essential team members they are. New volunteers consistently comment on how warm and welcoming she is during their first weeks. She is a vital part of what makes the shop work.
