Each year we ask our volunteers to nominate their Volunteer of the Year which we award at our annual AGM. This year was an extra special meeting for us as it was also a celebration of the 10 years since our charity was first founded.

We are extremely delighted to announce that our ‘Outstanding Volunteer’ for 2022 was awarded to Eamonn Toland.

You may well recognise Eamonn as a familiar face at events we have attended and recent videos we have filmed. Eamonn was nominated by several of his fellow volunteers for his supportive, encouraging and professional personality not just with other volunteers but also the fantastic impression he makes on the public at every interaction he has with them. He was described in one of his nominations as greeting people warmly like an old friend and having a personable attitude. 

We are proud to have Eamonn as part of our #BloodBike team and family. This recognition is very much deserved and a huge congratulations from all of us at Northumbria Blood Bikes!
