SIXTY nominated volunteers from Warrington came together for a celebration event.
Among the group of volunteers were young people from Warrington Youth Club, a father and son who volunteer from Fearnhead Community Centre and help out at events such as the Woolston Show, a resident who set up and runs Hatton film club and Daphne Eastburn, a fundraiser from the Methodist church in Culcheth and local scout group.
The borough council’s neighbourhood team and Warrington Voluntary Action teamed up to hold the event at Orford Community Hub.
Cllr Kate Hannon, the council’s lead member for leisure, community and culture, opened the event and the Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Ted Finnegan, presented the group with certificates to commend their work.
Cllr Hannon said: “Following on from a similar successful event last year, the neighbourhoods team and Warrington Voluntary Action paired up for this year’s event and it was absolutely lovely to attend and to hear the stories of people who really care about their community.
“Plans for next year’s event are already underway and due to the large number of fabulous volunteers in the town, the 2015 event will be bigger and better than ever before!”
