Awarded to Malcolm Robinson for his volunteer work in the West Bedlington community and his online postings on this group and Facebook keeping the community up to date with councill business that was, and wasn't, happening in the area.

Piper Award certificated presented to the volunteers.

A thankyou posted on the FOWL Facebook Page from Sarah, Issie & Jen to all those that helped them during 2023.

After very quite year within this group and very few questions asked from members we branched out to give this normally 'online' award to  'The Friends of Westlea Cemetery'.

They are a group of volunteers that have organised and helped in the restoring of the delapidated buildings, grounds and appearance of the cemetery. The refurbished building now used by the volunteers to to make up wreafs to sell on to the public.

As this was a not part of bedlington.uk we designed a certificate and Councillor Malcolm Robinson downloaded the certificate and had it printed, framed and the presented to the volunteers.

Some images of the work carried ouit by the volunteers.
