It was all hands-on deck on Tuesday as an amazing 147 people turned out to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of a weekly coffee morning at the village hall. All the more spectacular since when it began just six to eight attended but over the weeks and months that followed, villagers flocked to the social event.
Two officers from the Fenland local policing team also popped in for a cuppa and cake. A woman, described as “our little mascot” Julie Bush from Tesco arrived with a bag of goodies. The High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire had the honour of cutting the special birthday cake before touring the hall and speaking to many of the guests.
One volunteer said: “Today was about celebrating all of our wonderful guests, and most importantly celebrating all our loyal volunteers, so a special thank you, I think that’s about it for today, next week back to some normality.” The coffee morning is completely self-funded and is generously supported by local businesses. They believe their route to success has been their team of dedicated volunteers, without them this would have never been possible, they are proud to say that they haven’t lost a volunteer and indeed the numbers have grown. In the last two years, they have created a safe warm hub that everyone is welcome to enjoy as they are an all-inclusive venue free from any outside influences, their aim is to continue to provide all of their services, free of charge for as long as they are needed.
