Awards Success Continues

By Jack Welch, Volunteer Press Officer

30th October 2014

After the tremendous success of the recent reception of our 'Inspiring Project Award' at Dorset Youth Association's AGM (read here for the full story), the WITS team were up for another accolade as we received the 'Volunteer Group of the Year' award from the Dorset Volunteer Centre. Hosted at Bridport House, the certificates for each volunteer was presented by the current Lord Lieutenant of Dorset, Angus Campbell, with the ceremony presided by DYA Chairman, Allen Knott.

Before collecting our award, the group were well-deservedly treated to an evening meal in the centre of Dorcheste, where Project Officer, Lorna, was presented with an ornamental cake stand and bouquet of flowers, as a token of the group's appreciation for her hard work this past year.

Congratulations to all the other fantastic individuals and groups who picked up awards on the evening. It was wonderful to have so much activity in Dorset recognised.
