It’s National Volunteer Week and we want to give a big shout out to our amazing Committee 💚

So much of what happens at our community centre wouldn’t be possible without this wonderful group of volunteers. From helping guide and support the centre behind the scenes to sharing their ideas, knowledge and encouragement, they give so much of their time and care to help make this place what it is.

Anne, Carmel, El, Beth, Gemma, Inez - thank you for everything you do - the meetings, support, thoughtful conversations and commitment to our community. We’re incredibly lucky to have such a passionate and caring committee helping our community thrive.
