Shaftesbury Rotary recognised the efforts of local people helping their community by awarding them Certificates of Appreciation. Another three certificates were awarded to:
Brie Logan, Business Manager from Shaftesbury Town Council who helped set up the Support Shaftesbury Group; Philippa Davis, international private chef and food writer who designed nutritional meal cards which accompanied the food parcels given out to help families; and Emma Field-Rayner, a set designer for movie productions in London who spent weeks leading the volunteers who helped local people.
The Shaftesbury Support Group made more than 1,000 telephone calls, delivered hundreds of prescriptions, made hundreds of shopping trips, and supplied food for local families.
Shaftesbury Rotary sent a huge thank you to Brie, Philippa, Emma and all the volunteers who helped with the support group.
