Volunteer Awards evening 2024: London - England Athletics
At the England Athletics Regional Volunteer Awards evening, Helena Stone was runner up in the Newcomer to Volunteering category for the London region
Runner up: Helena Stone (London Heathside)
“ When not competing in para athletics Helena can be found behind a computer at the trackside, diligently operating the timing software and dealing calmly with the inevitable glitches. Her optimism, helpful attitude and readiness to get 'stuck in' are valuable assests in helping London Heathside to progress and serve its members. She first got involved in volunteering by answering a call for members to train to use the club's sometimes complex electronic timekeeping equipment and is now a club committee member and London councillor. “
