🌟 Celebrating local heroes this National Volunteers’ Week 🌟

This week, Telford & Wrekin Council is celebrating National Volunteers’ Week by sharing inspiring stories from across the Borough.

Today, we shine a light on Anne, a volunteer at the Sunflower Café in Brookside Community Centre, who shows how volunteering not only supports the community but offers so much more in return.

For the past three years, Anne has been volunteering with the Telford and Wrekin CVS, supporting the café while building confidence and learning new skills, as well as making friends. What started as a way to gain experience has grown into a rewarding role where she enjoys serving customers and baking.

Anne has developed valuable cooking skills and built strong connections in her community. A highlight was the Madeley Christmas Light Switch On, where the team prepared homemade treats which were all sold out by the end of the night, a real reflection of their hard work and baking skills!

💬 Anne says: “I’d highly recommend volunteering, it’s a great way to meet people and learn new skills and feel you are making a real difference. You might find you gain just as much as you give.”

💛 National Volunteers' Week 💛

This week we're celebrating the incredible volunteers who make such a difference to our community every single day.

A special thank you to Olivia, one of our wonderful volunteers at Sunflower Community Café, for sharing her experience with us:

"Learning new recipes that I have never tried before. Other members of staff are so nice and funny to interact with and have a range of different characteristics even the customers and the kids are an enjoying bunch to interact with"

We're so grateful for Olivia and all of our volunteers who give their time, energy, and kindness to support others. Your dedication helps make Sunflower Community Café a welcoming place for everyone.

Thank you for everything you do. 🌻
