All in one place

Highlighting Volunteers

The power of volunteering was particularly highlighted during the first lockdown in 2020, when so many people offered help to those in need but are you aware of how many volunteers work in our village? 

This is not a definitive list so please don’t be upset if anyone is left out It is just a snapshot.

· The editors of the Bramley magazine and those who deliver it

· The trustees of Clift Meadow and the village hall

· The Parent Teacher association

· The Bee Garden / Village Garden /WI garden

· Leaders of Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Cubs, Beavers, Scouts

· Organisers of Clift Meadow fete and the Bramley Show

· Litter pickers

· Clift Surgery’s Patient Participation group

· The Coffee Morning and the Friendship Walkers teams

· The Parish Council

· Those who raise funds, and those who write bids for grants to support local projects

· Those who support the older generation with shopping or company

· Volunteer drivers who assist with medical appointments or shopping

And in the wider area, don’t forget 

· The Samaritans and Citizens Advice, hospital volunteers and those assisting at the vaccination centres, plus the many who help at the food banks and charity shops. 

Each one of these roles involves a desire to help others and can take up significant hours in preparation and paperwork. Volunteers give freely of their time, and support financially with tea and coffee, printing, telephoning, and emailing, writing articles etc. 

Without these volunteers so much would just not happen so please give a thought for all those, retired or still working who give feely to make our village a better place to live. 

If you have a volunteering story to tell, please get in touch.
