A Proud Moment for Milton Keynes Hospital Charity
We are incredibly proud to share that our very own Vanessa Holmes, Associate Director of Charity and Volunteering at Milton Keynes University Hospital was awarded the Transformational Leadership Award, presented in memory of Carole Baume at Milton Keynes Community Foundation’s 40th Anniversary Charity Awards.
This prestigious award recognises exceptional leadership and acknowledges individuals who inspire others, drive meaningful change and make a lasting difference within their organisation and community.
Vanessa’s commitment to supporting patients, families, staff and supporters has helped Milton Keynes Hospital Charity continue to grow and thrive, enabling us to fund projects, equipment and enhancements that go above and beyond NHS provision.
This recognition is a testament to the passion, dedication and care that Vanessa brings to her role every day, and we couldn’t be prouder of this well-deserved achievement.
