Many rewards in volunteering

Three cheers for volunteers!

Kent Street volunteers received a ‘Royal Thank You’ last Monday and were feted with a special evening of food, fun and recognition.

We can’t thank our volunteers enough for their dedication and service.

Thanks. We couldn’t do it without you.
