AFTER the recent fuel crisis I would like to say "Thank You" to all Women's Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS) volunteers who worked extremely hard and used their own valuable fuel to ensure that all Meals On Wheels in the area continued to be delivered. As a result of their dedication and commitment all our clients received their meals as normal during the crisis.
I would also like to recognise the invaluable support shown by some local garages in the district who ensured our volunteers were able to get essential fuel to continue their deliveries.
WRVS volunteers deliver far more than meals -- for many people the delivery is their main social contact.
If any men or women in the area have a couple of hours to spare once a fortnight, and would like to help with this worthwhile service, they can ring me for details of a Meals On Wheels project near them on 07714 898619. A special thank you to all.
Lynne Sneap, Volunteering and Communications Officer, Cumbria and Lancashire.
