Thank you to our amazing volunteers

Written By Caroline Tennent

What a wonderful time we had with all our fabulous volunteers celebrating and thanking them. The day was organised by Kate Sheridan and 25 of our volunteers attended.

We started the day with an informative morning of Safeguarding Awareness with Vicky Hall from the Dorset Volunteer Centre. The Friendly Food Club provided us with a delicious homemade vegetable soup followed by yummy sticky toffee pudding with ice cream.

After lunch, we all enjoyed Kate's quiz, including the famous music round! We finished our day together with a creative craft session making seasonal wreaths with Anni using materials she had gathered from Long Crichel. This included dogwoods, willow, yew, ivy, holly, rosehip, bay, rosemary, fir cones and old man’s beard. Pretty ribbons were donated by Anne Bartlett from her collection. As well as a Wimborne St Giles’ carer Anne is a Chelsea Flower Show medal winner.

We also had a lovely time with Kate making beautiful ‘woven’ paper Danish hearts.

It was a fun, full and rewarding day and a special way of thanking our fabulous volunteers.

I’m a web designer and I love creating beautiful, affordable websites that work hard for small businesses. Simply put, a business needs a website to reach more customers. It needs to look good but it also needs to work hard. That’s where I can help, I build cost-effective, good looking websites that are both mobile and google friendly.
