Collectively, we have contributed over 400 hours of volunteering this year! When translated into a monetary value, using an average UK hourly rate of \u00a315, this equates to an astounding \u00a36,000 of contributed value to our community.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, we have simplified the way we operate and seen a growing interest in our club, welcoming new members who share our passion for service and advocacy as well as our sense of fun and friendship. All in all, a great year.
