Local news for Wednesday 10th June

Today – weather permitting - Winton House celebrates in the garden to say thank you to all its volunteers. 

Probably most associated with the community cafe, there are actually lots of other roles too.

We hear from Trustee Linda Hathaway about being a volunteer on the Information Desk (which includes taking transport bookings for the drivers of Petersfield Voluntary Care Group).

Manager Sarah Moss tells Mike Waddington (who also volunteers there) what’s happening today and the different people who volunteer there: young, retired and some new mums!

But it is a thank you for all the volunteers do!
