Posted on behalf of the chair of Ashton Hayes and Horton cum Peel Parish Council
As chairman of Ashton Hayes and Horton cum Peel parish council I would like to remind everyone that this week is volunteers’ week. I cannot think of a more perfect time to thank all the Bridging the Gap scheme volunteers for everything they have been doing since lockdown began. They have been amazing and I am sure you will want to join me in saying THANK YOU to everyone involved. Without your efforts so many local people would have had a much more difficult time.
Well done to all involved. You are all greatly appreciated.
In other breaking news … OPAL, as an organisation with 200+ volunteers, has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. This is a real achievement for them and they of course have been one of the contributory partners in our Bridging the Gap scheme. Well done to OPAL and all its volunteers! If you would like to find out more about OPAL and what it provides for its members or if you would like to become a volunteer please visit their website www.OPALServices.org.uk
