We are delighted to announce that the very first Northleach Community Volunteer Award has been presented to Kelly Mustoe in recognition of the time and effort she has given to supporting our community.
Kelly was nominated for her role in Northleach Teen Space, which provides a safe and inclusive space for young people to socialise. Through her time and commitment, Kelly has helped Teen Space achieve its aims of supporting young people in the local area and preventing social isolation.
The award was presented at Northleach with Eastington Annual Town Meeting on Weds 27 May 2027, where the council also took the opportunity to recognise the many volunteers who give their time throughout the year.
From supporting local events to gardening and other maintenance tasks, volunteers play an essential role in our community and help to ensure it is a fantastic place to live. Special thanks went to:
- Volunteer painters who redecorated the interior of Northleach Pavilion.
- Volunteer gardener Carole who organised the planting of thousands of daffodil bulbs in the churchyard earlier this year, and continues to tend to the flower beds in the Market Place.
- Jan who is now in the third year of surveying our local wildflower verges.
- Northleach Drain Guardians who rally around to help prevent flooding in the town, and
- Northleach Wardens help to resolve all kinds of maintenance issues across the town.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to every volunteer who contributes, often quietly and behind the scenes, to support local activities and initiatives. Your efforts are appreciated and do not go unnoticed.
Congratulations once again to Kelly, and thank you to everyone who continues to volunteer and support our community.
