An Awfully Big Volunteer Event... And Film!

Over 100 volunteers gathered together for the 40th Anniversary Volunteers Celebration evening on Wednesday 25 June 2014.

Our wonderful volunteers were treated to a performance from the Community Choir and a specially commissioned song about volunteers by Paul and Jo (to the tune of YMCA)! With a special performance from the BA students, the premiere screening of the Volunteer Film plus some tasty refreshments, it was a fun-packed event.

Thank you to everyone who made this such a successful and enjoyable evening. Check out the photos here.
