Well we had a winning time last night!! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ‰โœจ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆโœจ๐Ÿ†๐ŸŽŠ

Huge Congratulations to Kay Thomas who was winner of the *Community Champion of the Year Award* at the Stroud News & Journal Community Awards 2026!!

We are so fortunate to have Kay as a volunteer, she literally has a heart of gold ๐Ÿ’› You read her nomination below ๐Ÿ‘‡

Congratulations also to Nathan Roe, our Community Group Secretary, Hygiene Bank Stroud lead, & all round Foodhub legend who was the other finalist in the Community Champion Category!! ๐ŸŽ‰โœจ๐ŸŽŠโค๏ธ

As the presenter Vernon Hardwood said last night, we're obviously doing something right ๐Ÿ˜

Big love to Kay & Nathan, & to all our other volunteers past & present, we couldn't do what we do without you โค๏ธ



Nomination: "Kay is a mature lady who lives with disability, yet is a bright ray of sunshine to all her neighbours, our MHCG
Foodhub customers, & is the backbone of our community gardening group! A little Aussie powerhouse & a bundle of joy, she never fails to bring laughter & a smile with her, her empathy & generosity are boundless
If there is a shift at the hub that needs covering at short notice, Kay steps up.

Spring, Summer & Autumn, litter picking
to light weeding, planting to watering, at her own pace & time she's out in our green spaces & our community garden ensuring communal flowers, shrubs, fruit & veggies are thriving for all to enjoy.

If there is litter that needs picking, a communal bin that's blown over in a storm, or our community "dog poo bag" supplies need refreshing to help keep our green spaces clean & tidy Kay is simply there, ensuring it gets done. If there is a garden bench that needs a
fresh coat of paint Kay is organising a couple of volunteers to help her do it!

She also generously cooks for neighbours on occasion as a support, cooks & makes lovely desserts for our regular community Action Day lunches, & her trifle is legend!"
