The Heart of Pet Blood Bank Award celebrates inspiring people and pets who go the extra mile to support us - kindly sponsored by CVS Group.
We are only where we are today because of our dedicated supporters. The Heart of Pet Blood Bank Award is one small way we can say thank you.
One of our most passionate and dedicated supporters was Debra. As one of our first members back in 2007, her unwavering determination and enthusiasm were a driving force. She lived and breathed Pet Blood Bank and took every opportunity to tell others about the work we do. She did all she could for us and played an instrumental role in setting up our initial volunteering programme. Debra very sadly lost her fight against cancer in 2011. The Heart of Pet Blood Bank Award is our legacy to her. Through this award, we honour Debra’s incredible passion and commitment to supporting our supporters – a spirit that continues to be at the heart of what we do today.
Award categories
The Heart of Pet Blood Bank Award has four categories: The Bramble Craddock Award, Caring, Pioneering, and Real.
Bramble Craddock
The Bramble Craddock Award was created in honour of one of our highest donating dogs who sadly passed away. Bramble was a very special dog, who like many of our donors, will forever be at the heart of Pet Blood Bank. This award celebrates the wonderful role that dogs play in our lives and is open to all donors. Nominations will be judged on what makes your dog special and the difference they have made in your life or the lives of others.
Caring
The Caring award celebrates individuals or pets who go above and beyond in showing care and compassion. They embody the welfare-first spirit of Pet Blood Bank by demonstrating kindness, empathy, and a true commitment to helping others. Whether through supporting fellow donors, comforting animals in need, or assisting within their community.
Pioneering
The Pioneering award celebrates individuals or pets who have broken new ground in promoting or supporting the Pet Blood Bank cause. They are creative and forward thinkers who innovate and find new and exciting ways of doing things. Their work is about leading by example or pushing the boundaries to help Pet Blood Bank grow and improve.
Real
The Real award recognises individuals or pets who embody Pet Blood Bank’s values of being practical, grounded, and solution focused. When faced with challenges, they think realistically and proactively, finding innovative ways to overcome obstacles and achieve goals. Their dedication ensures that Pet Blood Bank continues to thrive and make a difference.
