Volunteer of the Year - Samantha Willis
Volunteer of the Year - Samantha Willis

Our mission is to help each child to reach their full potential through play and we couldn't achieve this without the incredible help and support of the many volunteers that run our Toy Library. So with that in mind we wanted to say a big thank you to you all as part of National Volunteer Week 2018!

We also wanted to make special mention of our 'Volunteer of the Year' Samantha Willis who recently gave so much of her valuable time, energy and enthusiasm to securing a grant for some fantastic new toys and organising the 'Replanting Our Roots' Fun Day which was an incredible success!
