What is the Heart of PBB Award?

Heart of PBB Award is a new award scheme from Pet Blood Bank UK to recognise and celebrate the achievements of all those who help us continue to collect and supply lifesaving blood.

We believed 2012 was the year to launch the scheme, having won "Social Entrepreneur of the Year" at the Scottish Business Awards in February, and celebrated our 5^th birthday milestone in March. Achievements like these would not have been possible without the help of our kind supporters over the years, and therefore we wanted to show our gratitude through the Heart of PBB Award.

One of our biggest supporters was Debra. Debra was our first member of staff back in 2007, and her passion and determination was a driving force. She lived and breathed PBB, and never missed an opportunity to tell others about the work we do. She went on to play an instrumental role in the setting up of our volunteering programme.

Debra sadly lost her fight against cancer in 2011. At PBB, we felt her legacy should live on by recognising something that was so close to her heart - the support of the supporters. Hence, the Heart of PBB Award was born.

A winner of the Heart of PBB Award will be awarded an engraved heart and a gift voucher as a small token of our gratitude.
