On Thursday 4th June 2015 West Lancashire Borough Council hosted the West Lancs CVS Volunteer Centre annual volunteer awards.Ā Ā From across West Lancashire, 21 volunteers qualified for the 100 and/or 200 voluntary hours certificates. On the evening, The Mayor of West Lancashire, Nikki Hennessey, formally presented the certificates to volunteers and afterwards joined with a number of West Lancs charities and the West Lancs CCG to celebrate the contribution that volunteers make to our community.
