I recently announced my Community Hero's Awards for people to nominate those who make a difference in our local community so that we can celebrate their hard work.
Taylors Butchers of Bentilee kindly provided a £50 Gift Voucher to be used in their store for the overall winner of my Community Hero's Awards and I am pleased to announce Sarah from the 85th Milton Scout Group as the overall winner.
Sarah was nominated by Megan who said this about her:
"Just before the lockdown Sarah took over 85th Milton Scout Group as an acting group scout leader, during the lockdown Sarah ran 3 nights a week over zoom providing badges, fun, and activities for the children of our scout groups, took on new responsibilities and even new children from the local community to give them a sense of normality. Sarah provided support for all of our scout group including the leaders and parents. Sarah has been volunteering for at least 15 years with the scouts and has always been there for every single person that steps foot through our scout hut doors. After lockdown, Sarah opened a new section to our scout group called squirrels which offers younger children (4-6-year-olds) the opportunity to come and gain badges and have fun. Even whilst running 85th Milton Scout Group Sarah provided challenges for all groups to support the local community by making food bank donations, collecting items for a local care home and currently the beaver group is collecting items to take to the Macari shelter."
Well Done Sarah
