Joanna Lamb Award Winners 2021

Now in its third year, the Joanna Lamb Award for Outstanding Volunteering recognises It’s good 2 give Volunteers who have made an outstanding contribution to our charity.

The award was named after the amazing Joanna Lamb who worked so hard to promote our charity and raise awareness of young cancer patients. An inspiration to us all and someone that loved volunteering at It’s Good 2 Give events, sadly Joanna passed away from cancer in 2019 aged just 18 years.

Joanna’s bright and friendly personality and love of sport will always be remembered by us and her family are still a huge part of the It’s good 2 give. They are very much involved in lots of our projects and her dad, Alan plays a big part in the presentation of this award.

This year’s fantastic winners undertook amazing fundraising feats for It’s good 2 give. They both hail from the mighty Kingdom of Fife, and they’ve certainly been champions for our charity this year.

Lorraine Garvie, our first winner, carried out a huge number of fundraising raffles for It’s Good 2 Give and other charities too. Lorraine's impressive efforts not only helped raised welcome funds, but she has continued to do so whilst also working an extremely busy job.

Mary Park, our second winner, took in her stride a virtual walk from Lands’ End to John o’ Groats for It’s good 2 give raising funds and awareness along the way. Mary continues to support our charity in many ways, including ad-hoc housekeeping days at our Ripple Retreat with her youngest daughter, and actively promoting the charity through social media. Her eldest daughter is also one of the wonderful artists behind our amazing Christmas card selection this year.

Congratulations to these two amazing volunteers, and our thanks as always to each and every one of you that contribute to our mission at It’s good 2 give!
