TWENTY-six volunteers from 18 different charities and voluntary sector groups gathered in the glorious setting of Lydford Gorge, courtesy of Dartmoor National Trust, on Thursday, June 9 to celebrate their volunteering within the vibrant community in West Devon.
They enjoyed a relaxing afternoon there with a delicious tea in the company of Cllr John Sheldon, the Mayor of West Devon, his wife Maggie and Billie Burnett, Volunteering Services co-ordinator at West Devon CVS who presented each of them with a certificate of thanks.
More than 21-million people volunteer in the UK; their combined efforts contribute to the UK economy an estimated £23.9 billion!
‘These and all volunteers are a huge inspiration to others and deserve our great thanks,’ said Billie.
