Central Bedfordshire says thank you to its volunteers

Date Added: 10/06/2022

Cheering Volunteering Event to say thank you to Central Bedfordshire's wonderful volunteers

It was cream teas all round for the volunteers of Central Bedfordshire at a celebration event held at The Rufus Centre, Flitwick on Tuesday 7 June.

The event was held to recognise and thank the many volunteers throughout Central Bedfordshire that help to provide the backbone to the community and the excellent support they provide, often to some of its most vulnerable residents.

The annual Cheering Volunteering event, hosted and organised by Central Bedfordshire Council in partnership with the Community Volunteer Service (CVS) and Beds Rural and Communities Charity, is held as part of the national Volunteers’ Week campaign and sponsored jointly by Grand Union Housing Group, FCC Environment and Prologis. Attendees were greeted by local dignitaries and ward councillors, including the High Sheriff of Bedfordshire Lady Jane Clifford, Deputy Lieutenant Simon Sadler and Deputy Mayors of Flitwick and Ampthill Clare Thompson and Susan Clinch.

Around 150 volunteers enjoyed an afternoon cream tea and holistic treats including hand massages, chair exercises, relaxation and breathing sessions offered by the MIND charity with each of them taking away a ‘goodie bag’.

During the afternoon’s proceedings, the following organisations were informed of their successful applications for Inspiring Volunteering Grants: Clophill Village Hall, Share: Flitwick & Ampthill, For Men to Talk, Healthwatch Central Bedfordshire, Leighton Linslade Citizens Advice, Central Bedfordshire Youth Voice and Let's Get Going, Sandy.
