An 87-year-old fundraiser has been given a lifetime achievement award in celebration of half a century's service to a charity.
June Spink received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the British Red Cross in celebration of her 50 years’ service.
The charity awards its team if they reach five, ten, 20, 30 and 40 years' of volunteering or employment, but June was one of the last to receive the “special” 50 years' award.
She began volunteering with the Red Cross in 1969 because she “wanted to achieve something” in her life.
