Marsh Award for Volunteering in Support of Older People

This Award is run in partnership with Contact the Elderly and recognises the contribution made by volunteers with older people. The Award acknowledges the commitment made by either an individual or a group of volunteers.

Contact the Elderly volunteers hold monthly tea parties for elderly people, or act as drivers in order to ensure they are able to attend. The groups are lifelines for many elderly people with little support from friends and family. Should you wish to know more, please look at their website below.

The 2009 winner is Penny Tillott
