Mabel wins national award for volunteering work

A WARRINGTON woman has won a national Macmillan Cancer Support award for her work as a volunteer.
Mabel Robin, from Latchford, as won the Richard Hambro award for her volunteer work at the charity’s pod at the Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub.
After being diagnosed with cancer in 2011, Mabel was motivated to volunteer for Macmillan.
The citation for her award reads: “She plays a vital role in a variety of volunteer-led services, such as through sharing her experiences as a Cancer Voice or sharing her ideas as a Volunteer Forum member.
“As the lead volunteer of a pilot project in Warrington, Mabel provides outstanding support to the project’s 12 amazing volunteers.
“Mabel also volunteers at the Macmillan Information and Support service where she meets and greets people with her compassionate and caring demeanour, and personally ensures all Macmillan information points are fully stocked. She does everything with warmth, humour and reliability.”
The award is named after the late Richard Hambro, a former treasurer for the charity, who died in 2009.
