🧡 Volunteer Week: Celebrating Anne Keen 💙
This week is Volunteers’ Week, and we couldn’t let it pass without recognising someone who has been absolutely instrumental in the story of Reach Rainhill C.I.C.
Anne Keen started as a supporter of Reach, but in reality she has become so much more than that.
She is our Volunteer Community Engagement Lead, our organiser, our encourager, our steady pair of hands, our honest voice, and often the person quietly making things happen in the background before anyone else even notices they need doing!
Anne gives an extraordinary amount of time to Reach, practically full time some weeks, and somehow still checking in even when she’s meant to be on holiday!
Over the past year, Anne has played a huge part in helping Reach establish itself in Rainhill. From community engagement and events, to supporting fundraising, building relationships, championing young people, encouraging families, strengthening our links with local groups and keeping us grounded in what the village actually needs; Anne has been there for it all!
So many of our biggest milestones have Anne’s fingerprints on them. The growth of Reach in Rainhill has not happened by accident. It has happened because people have given their time, energy, care and belief to something bigger than themselves and Anne is one of those people.
She brings warmth, humour, honesty, determination and a deep love for community into everything she does. She reminds us constantly that this work is about people, relationships and doing the right thing even when nobody is watching!
Anne, on behalf of everyone at Reach Rainhill C.I.C.; thank you for everything you do!
Thank you for believing in us, backing us, challenging us, encouraging us, and helping build something that is already making a real difference.
Reach would not be where it is without you. 🧡💙
