It’s been a week since we held our annual Volunteers Week Barbecue at FareShare Greater Manchester. More than thirty attendees joined the event to celebrate the fantastic work they do for us.
Despite the recent wet weather, we were lucky enough to enjoy sunshine at our Maynard House headquarters. We fired up the barbecue and got it ready for action. Participants and staff mingled in our canteen and spilled out into our garden. They enjoyed each other’s company and the fabulous array of food on offer.
The highlight of the event was a special presentation made to our volunteers on behalf of the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Cllr Paul Andrews, in recognition of the work they do to support FareShare Greater Manchester. The volunteer teams from the warehouse, office, FareShare Plus, our evening team, our drivers and volunteers from our sister organisation Touch Wood, were all presented with certificates from the Lord Mayor by our CEO, Lucy Danger and Head of Volunteering, Liz Lauder.
Our volunteers are all amazing and without them we would not be able to support more than 300 charity food partners with 5 million meals each year.
