An example… Here’s one we made up earlier to inspire you: I would like to nominate Ann Smith for CRUK’s Volunteer of the Month. Ann has been a volunteer with Cancer Research UK since June 2013. She is a member of the Anytown Fundraising Committee and also volunteers at Race For Life. Ann is brilliant at spotting opportunities and coming up with new ideas – for example, last month she organised a new fundraising event in Anytown – a fashion show! The event raised over £2,000 and resulted in lots of new relationships with local retailers as well as bringing new supporters along to the evening. A great night was had by all. I know Ann also supported four local Race For Life events over the summer and is particularly good a welcoming new volunteers and showing them the ropes!
