I am very proud to tell you that Waddington Street Centre has received an award from Volunteer Centres, County Durham. We were nominated by Stephen Gasgoine of the Durham volunteer bureau in light of the good work we do with volunteers. I feel very privileged that we were selected to represent good practice in Durham City.

We were invited to a beautiful awards ceremony at Collingwood College which is part of Durham University. I would like to thank Andrew Richardson, Lorna Thornborrow, Paul Noble, Karl Banzini and Derek Jordon for accompanying me.
