Volunteers Summer Celebration

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Summer Celebration as part of Volunteers’ Week!

The afternoon was filled with conversation, laughter and shared experiences and it was so wonderful to see volunteers from different parts of our organisation meeting and celebrating together.

We’d like to thank Cllr Joan Atkins, Teignmouth’s Deputy Mayor, who joined the celebrations and had the opportunity to hear first hand from our volunteers how they are supporting our local community.

Thank you so much to the amazing team at Mini Heaven for their incredibly generous donation of all the scones and cream and also to Greggs in Teignmouth for donating a wonderful selection of donuts and biscuits.

A huge thank you to every one of our volunteers. Your time, kindness, and commitment make a real difference, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do.
