Awards evening 2nd august 2013

Volunteer's Awards Night at the Devere Herons Reach Hotel Blackpool

     On Friday 2nd August 2013 Louise and Mum went to an awards evening for the Fylde Coast Be Inolved and UR Potential volunteering group of which Louise is a member. The evening was held as a thankyou for all the volunteers and a chance to give out certificates and awards to the volunteers for their activities throughout the past year.

     Louise had been volunteering since the start of 2013 and had already completed a number of courses to gain vocational qualifications and done a large number of volunteering hours. 

This is Louise's story;

               "I was invited to attend the awards evening because

                I had done 75 hours of volunteering an they put on 

                a special evening to show how much people have 

                done and how much people do to help the community 

                and also to give the volunteers something to show all

                the hard work that they have done. The volunteering

                I do is I volunteer at one of Blackpool Carers 

                Centre’s Charity shops and I also volunteer at Blackpool 

                Young Carers youth clubs."
