At the Hythe and Dibden Community Spirit Awards held in September three of their volunteers were nominated for awards - Pat Chant, who has volunteered in their O ce for over 10 years and always brings her smile and dedications with her.

Charlie has even recruited his wife Jane to help him and they are now able to help more of the Charity’s clients.
