Volunteer of the Year

The volunteer of the year award is designed to recognise a volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their contributions to the S2S service.

We couldn’t separate out these two volunteers for Volunteer of the Year, because they seem to be, at times even when they don’t mean to be, inseparable. They sign-up independently for the same things and, even though they bring different and unique contributions to each space, their interests and capabilities align so well that it's impossible to recognise one over the other. From innovative meetups to their peer-leadership in Head Mentor meetings and their incredible social media design and creativity, these two are a force to be reckoned with. They have literally become the face of S2S, and are tireless in their commitment to the promotion and delivery of the S2S service.
