Being one of 3,000 people nominated to receive one of Her Majesty’s Platinum Champion Awards is an honour in itself, but to be chosen as one of the 490 selected to receive an Award was heartfelt recognition for Cllr Lynn Little for the work she has done in and around Carterton to help the local community.
“The work I do for people around the town means so much to me. Assisting with the Covid vaccination rollout, helping to operate the lunch club, community fridge, foodbank, drop-in veterans centre and community coffee morning, has helped so many who need support in our town. However, to actually receive the Platinum Champions Award from HRH Duchess of Cornwell who is President of the Royal Voluntary Services, is wonderful and very much appreciated.”
To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee over fifty people from Carterton, Burford and Witney enjoyed a Jubilee afternoon tea. Collectively an enjoyable time was had by all of those involved, sharing special memories on this historic day.
The Carterton Community Fridge continues to play a vital part in helping local people get food to meet their needs in these tough economic times. It is open on Monday mornings from 10.30am to 11.30am.
