Sefton Volunteer Awards at Bootle Town Hall.

On Wednesday 7th June, Volunteer Centre Sefton held their annual Volunteer Celebration Event to mark National Volunteers’ Week. Volunteers received certificates of thanks from The Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside, The Mayor of Sefton and Councillor Paul Cummins.

The event, held at Bootle Town Hall, welcomed 16 organisations from across Sefton, who invited volunteers who make a vital difference to their communities in the borough. Guests enjoyed the presentations followed by a buffet.

Additionally, nominations were received for Volunteer of the Year and Young Volunteer of the Year awards. The awards are a special recognition for volunteers in Sefton who have gone above and beyond their role and shown real dedication and commitment to the organisation they support. The young volunteer of the year award is open to those aged 25 and under.

The Winner of Volunteer of the Year 2023 was Andy King from Crisis Cafe and the winner of the Young Volunteer of the Year 2023, sponsored by Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa, was Freya White from Independence Initiative.
