Businessman Ed Lawson, of Rowlands Gill, has been named Volunteer of the Year by the Princes Trust for his dedication to helping disadvantaged young people follow their dreams.
The prize, sponsored by the Chronicle, was presented to Ed by Newcastle United legend Bob Moncur at a glitzy awards ceremony last night at the Hilton in Gateshead.
Among VIP guests were actor Tim Healy, Olympic swimmer Chris Cook, and Big
Brother winner Anthony Hutton. They were celebrating the success of 30 young people and volunteers from the North East who were shortlisted for awards at the Prince’s Trust’s annual Celebrate Success ceremony.
