Volunteers at the Care for Cleveleys shop welcomed Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire yesterday.
LL Amanda Parker meet some of the volunteers to find out more about their work.
As the King’s representative in Lancashire, Mrs Parker had previously presented Care for Cleveleys with the King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS).
It’s the MBE for voluntary groups and is the highest award given to local volunteer groups in the UK and marks out outstanding community service.
Chair and founder of the group Jane Littlewood explains . There’s such a broad spread of tasks, activities and responsibilities, all contributing to keeping Cleveleys amazing.
“It’s really important to recognise and acknowledge how much work, effort and dedication everyone contributes, and an official visit of this nature is a special way to do that.”
Refreshments were served and guests were treated to an entertaining demonstration of the new water collection system,
If you would like to be part of the Care for Cleveleys team they are always looking for new volunteers. Everybody can do something, so just get in touch by emailing [email protected]
