And for the first time the big-hearted helpers, who give up their valuable time and energy, were brought together for a Volunteer Forum.
The Forum is seen an important step to give volunteers the chance to find out about new developments at Lytham Hall and to get involved in the decision-making process.
Anyone interested in volunteering can call the Lytham Hall estates office on (01253) 736652.
