THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU- “This week we should have been thanking all our wonderful volunteers in person and celebrating at our annual Volunteer Awards ceremony.

Although we are unable to do this I have been reflecting on the many existing and new volunteers we are lucky enough to have and what they give to the organisation in terms of dedication, selflessness and friendship. Personally, I have been overwhelmed at how the community has pulled together during these uncertain times.
We have had to create many new volunteering roles and have had to adapt to a new ‘normal’, but as always this has been done with enthusiasm, kindness and always with a smile! We are so lucky to have volunteers helping with meal deliveries, maintaining befriending relationships by telephone, running our Listening Line and providing friendship through our new Telephone Buddy Service and so much more.
