Crimestoppers
Fearless
Volunteer Awards 2023
Here at Crimestoppers, we believe everyone has the right to feel safe from crime, wherever they live.
Our unique service gives people the power to speak up and stop crime – 100% anonymously. We couldn’t engage with the communities that need our service most without the help of our volunteers.
That’s why we launched the Crimestoppers Volunteer Awards, now in their fourth year.
Entries this year were judged by our CEO Mark Hallas, Volunteer Manager Greg Rees, Trustee Barry Mizen and Lead Volunteer Phil O’Shea...
...and we're delighted to announce our winners!
After reading through all the nominations, the judges agreed that the quality of the nominees was incredibly impressive, and coming to their decisions was once again a challenging, and humbling, task.
