A BIG THANKS TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS

Our annual Volunteer Recognition Event took place at the Dunsilly Hotel in Antrim. As always, it was an opportunity to say a big thank you to all those who give up their valuable time to help others. We simply don’t have room to use photographs of everyone who attended, so here we present a random selection.

Although we have 500 volunteers, the ever–expanding nature of our services and need for funds means that we are always looking for more.

For further information please contact Anne Norrie, Volunteer Development Co–ordinator, NICHS, 21 Dublin Road, Belfast, BT2 7HB, 028 9026 6707 or email: anorrie@nichs.org.uk
