Success at the Volunteer Star Awards - South Staffordshire Regional Community
Earlier this week, the South Staffordshire Regional Community were delighted to win two fantastic awards at the South Staffordshire Regional Community. They picked up the Young Volunteer of the Year Award and Business Contribution to Communities Award. Congratulations to Codsall Food colleague, Lauren Brown and the South Staffordshire Regional Community!
-
The Young Volunteer of the Year Award recognises a young person who has made a valuable contribution to volunteering for an organisation or local community group
-
The Business Contribution to Communities Award recognises a business that encourages, provides and supports its workers to volunteer in the community, as well as providing skills and expertise to support or mentor local groups and organisations
The awards are hosted by Support Staffordshire which supports organisations that rely upon volunteers to deliver services to some of the most vulnerable in the community and are a charity in their own right.
Being set up since 2016, these awards really highlight the great work that has been undertaken in the last few years, so a big well done to everyone who has been involved in making this a success.
Kirtlington Village Fete - Kidlington and North Oxford Regional Community
Last weekend our Kidlington and North Oxford Regional community held a Kirtlington Fete. The group of colleagues community volunteered on the grand draw stall and car parking duties, with colleagues from Energy, Bletchingdon Food, Oxford Road Food and Eynsham lending a hand. Meanwhile, in-store chef Dan from Moreton Food Market provided tasters and sales of some of our wonderful local products and his delicious homemade brownies.
A big thanks to everyone who made this happen!

What is Thumbs Up?👍
‘Thumbs Up’ is our way of celebrating all your heroic efforts by sharing your great work and giving other colleagues the ability to like it.
It could be some great customer feedback you've received, something you've done to help the local community or simply a Thumbs Up to your team!
Just make sure you please take care of social distancing for pictures together as we are also following guidelines on this and hope you are too.
Thank you for the contribution, if for whatever reason you don’t want it to be used in this way please contact communications@midcounties.coop.
