Earlier this month, volunteers from Moving Memory were invited to attend a special thanksgiving service at Rochester Cathedral, hosted by the Lord-Lieutenant and High Sheriff of Kent. The event brought together volunteers from across Kent and Medway to recognise the incredible contribution they make to their communities.
We were proud to see Moving Memory among so many inspiring individuals and organisations.
Reflecting on the evening, volunteer and Advisory Committee member Jackie Witcher shared: “I felt privileged and humbled to be amongst those who help to make a difference at so many levels. What struck me was the shared dedication, energy and quiet pride of being a volunteer. Humanity is still out there in shed loads.”
Volunteer and Advisory Committee member Jean Purland also spoke about the atmosphere in the Cathedral: “It was uplifting but also very humbling – I was amongst these amazing volunteers. My volunteering brings laughter, joy and connection into people’s lives, and mine, which is so important as we age.”
Our work simply wouldn’t be possible without our volunteers. From supporting workshops to helping create welcoming, inclusive spaces, they are at the heart of everything we do. We are incredibly grateful for their time, energy and generosity.
