We all know how great student groups are in Durham, but it’s always nice to receive some national recognition. This year, two of Durham’s groups have Lou Webster smiling in front of blood donation merchandise.been shortlisted for National Societies Awards.

In the category for Best Society is Durham University Blood Donation Society, which is a fairly new group who you may have seen running events like Blongo’s Bingo or running many kilometres for the Get Your Blood Pumping challenge.

The group’s President, Lou Webster, said:

“I still can't quite believe that a society we founded less than two years ago has been recognised nationally on the shortlist for Best Society! I am so so proud of how far we have come, and I am very lucky to work alongside such a wonderful Exec who have put so much into making the society the success it is today. It's wonderful that we have managed to raise the profile of blood donation, whilst having a lot of fun along the way!”

Durham’s second nomination is for Durham University Charity Fashion Show, who were last year’s winners of the Best Society award. This year they are nominated for Best Fundraising/Campaigning Society, and after they raised £150,000 for the Environmental Justice Foundation, we think it’s an award they really deserve!

If you think there’s another group or individual in Durham who deserves recognition, why not nominate them for one of the Durham SU Awards here. If shortlisted they’ll be invited to a fancy awards ceremony at the Radisson Blu in Durham.
