Barnardo’s Newry Helper’s Group volunteers recognised

Barnardo’s volunteer fundraisers from its Newry Helper’s Group were recently recognised for their roles during National Volunteer Week 2017.

The volunteers were presented with certificates of acknowledgement for their time and dedication at an event held at Parliament Buildings, Stormont.

Barnardo’s NI Director Lynda Wilson said, “Volunteers enrich us. We are a community of people focused on doing the best for the children and young people we support and our volunteers are amazing people who give extraordinary amounts of time.

“They bring additional skill sets including life knowledge, experience and empathy. The Newry Helpers Group has many years of fundraising between them and many thousands of pounds raised.

She added, “Barnardo’s depends on the generosity of its fundraisers and this was an opportunity to recognise the dedication shown by the Newry Helper’s Group over the years.”
