Three cheers for our Volunteer Awards 2026
We were pleased to announce the winners of our Volunteer Awards 2026 at our recent AGM.
It’s well recognised how much we rely upon volunteers of all ages to help us achieve our goals; from our nature reserves to our wild coasts, we couldn’t do it without them.

Gold Badges were awarded to Pru Delaney (pictured) and Mike Potter for their many hours of dedication to the Trust – almost 2,000 hours between them! Pru is a regular volunteer on our nature reserves in north-east Wales and Mike is a mainstay of our reptile and amphibian survey and monitoring work.
Our Young Volunteer of the Year award was presented to Millie Williams (pictured) who started our journey with us as an Ocean Rescue Champion in 2024. Millie’s dedication to seagrass conservation is clear, continuing to volunteer, and mentor other young ‘Champs’ whilst also studying for her GCSEs.
And last but not most definitely not least, Volunteer Group of the Year was awarded to our Shoresearch Cymru volunteers who, since 2021, have given over 2,000 hours of their time and submitted 15,000 wildlife records! Tejapushpa Entwhistle (pictured) accepted the award on their behalf.
