Today, after receiving 5 requests for assistance we finally broke the 1000 target, finishing on 1001.
This is a monumental achievement and I am so proud and grateful to all of the volunteers and organisations of which there are far too many to mention individually. On behalf of all of those vulnerable residents who you have assisted and me, for the loyal support that you have given, a very big thank you, we couldn’t have done it without you.
Without any further ado, I am very pleased to announce that the winners of the 1000 Target Date Competition, yes there were two, are Barbara Moment and Linda Rust. Very many congratulations and your £30 Amazon Vouchers will be heading your way shortly. Thank you to all those who participated.
