Big cheers to our valued volunteers

It was smiles all round recently as our Charity held three ‘thank-you’ afternoon tea’s for volunteers.
Valued guests tucked into a cream tea at the Tiptree tearoom in Cressing Temple Barns in mid-March, whilst chatting over their mutual support for HRCC.
HRCC Community Fundraiser Claire Dobson was one of the organisers of the event, and was delighted to be able to offer the token of appreciation for all the hours of time donated by volunteers: “It was wonderful to see so many of our group of caring volunteers, and to spend some quality time chatting with them. Without such kind-hearted people so many of our fundraising events could not take place, and we would not be able to offer the amount of support we do to people living with cancer.”
Volunteer Barbara Richardson appreciated the friendly and jovial afternoon: “Thank you all for inviting me to the cream tea, it was a great success and I enjoyed meeting like-minded volunteers.”
If you would like to join our growing group of volunteers, and be part of helping your local community contact Claire Dobson on 01245 380719, or email Claire.dobson@helenrollason.org.uk
A full list of our volunteer opportunities is listed in the get involved area of the website.

• Thank you to Wilkin & Sons for supporting these events.
