THE generosity, time and effort of volunteers in Mid Devon was celebrated at a morning tea party, held by the Mid Devon Children's Centre.

In total the centres 60 volunteers have given over 2,067 hours of support in various roles including session volunteers, gardening, administration and Breast feeding peer support.

Cllr Janet Rendle attended the event as a supporter of the children's centres to present the certificates and token gift to the volunteers.

Yvonne Christopher from Tiverton Children's Centre said “We would like to thank all the volunteers for their hard work and dedication in their roles.

“The volunteers help us provide a varied and comprehensive service and are part of each team”.

Volunteer Sarah Lillis said: “Volunteering at the children's centre has been a very rewarding experience as not only have I managed to help others but I have found where my passions lie and want to follow this in my career once my children are a little older.”

The centres are always recruiting new volunteers, for more information please contact Anna Adcock the volunteer co-ordinator on 01884 35993
