Volunteer Awards - local success

[Volunteer Centre]

Congratulations to two local winners at the Argyll & Bute Volunteer Awards. Fiona Irwin was named the Sports Individual Volunteer for her work with the Jog Scotland runners and Steve Byrne was the Highly Commended Individual Volunteer of the Year for his work with lots of different community groups.

There were lots of nominations but there could only be a few finally selected winners. It was a great day for all the volunteers who came to the awards which are sponsored by the Argyll & Bute Volunteer Centre / Argyll CVS, in partnership with Argyll & Bute Council.

Don't forget to congratulate them if you see them.
