We’re proud to share that Dave Chapman, a dedicated volunteer with Read Write Now, was recently recognised as a finalist in the 2025 South West Volunteer of the Year Awards, hosted by Volunteer South West.
This year’s Volunteer of the Year award received an impressive 19 nominations, highlighting the strength and heart of the volunteering community across the South West.
We also extend our warm congratulations to CJ Aston of the Tuart Forest Toy Library, who took out the top award, and to fellow finalist Kate Monaghan from the IIOY Blue Leaf Initiative. All three finalists exemplify what it means to give generously of one’s time, skills, and heart.
A heartfelt thank you to Volunteer South West for hosting this annual event and to Albemarle for sponsoring the award. Recognitions like this help shine a spotlight on the incredible impact volunteers have across all sectors.
