Last night we celebrated our Carers Link Lancashire Volunteers as part of our volunteers' week celebrations at our annual Volunteers Party.

All of our volunteers do a fantastic job and we couldn't do it without them. Our volunteers enjoyed drinks, a delicious buffet, and entertainment was provided by the fantastic magician Ian's Close Up Magic, who kept us all entertained and amazed.

Thank you to all of our Volunteers from everyone at Carer Link Lancashire.

Meet Maddalena, who volunteers at our Accrington Charity Shop.
