It's National Volunteer Week, and on Thursday 23 May 2024, we threw a very special event at Glanville Hall to say thank you to our amazing council volunteers who have dedicated more than 25,000 hours of service to the local community over the past 12 months.
The weather was perfect, with the sun coming out just as guests were arriving. Claire Boan - Mayor of the City of PAE spoke about the history of Glanville Hall, before presenting recognition awards to some long-term volunteers.
On behalf of our community, we say thank you to every single one of you for helping to make the City of PAE better every day.
