Huge congratulations to our North Cornwall Assistant Coordinator, Michelle, who was named Animal Welfare Champion at Cornwall’s Rewind Radio Heroes Awards recently!
The ceremony took place at Tregenna Castle Hotel in St Ives, with Michelle’s award sponsored by White Admin Company.
Her nomination celebrated her efforts across more than two decades of rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife across Cornwall. Through her volunteering with BDMLR, Michelle has helped countless seal pups and other marine animals, coordinated rescues, and trained volunteers.
Her commitment extends beyond our work, too. Michelle is known for her specialist work with swifts, swallows and martins, providing dedicated care to dozens of injured birds each year, rehabilitating them before returning them to the wild. Alongside work and family commitments, she continues to answer callouts, support conservation and raise funds for animal welfare.
The evening brought together many inspiring winners, each with their own remarkable story – all of which were well deserving nominees, and our team joining Michelle thoroughly enjoyed the event. We’re delighted to see Michelle’s compassion, expertise and years of hard work recognised among them.
Thank you, Michelle, for everything you do. We’re incredibly proud to have you on the BDMLR team!
