Vision Redbridge Culture & Leisure

Last night, we hosted a well-deserved Volunteer Thank You Celebration at the beautiful Foxburrows Barn in Hainault Forest, bringing together the incredible people who generously give their time to support our communities.

Our volunteers play a vital role across a wide range of services, including our parks, libraries, theatre, museum, cultural programmes, and community events. Their dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment help us create welcoming spaces, deliver memorable experiences, and make a real difference to residents across Redbridge.

The evening was a wonderful opportunity to bring volunteers together, celebrate their achievements, share stories, and recognise the invaluable contribution they make throughout the year. We were also delighted to be joined by Councillor Bert Jones, the Mayor of Redbridge, who helped us thank our volunteers for their outstanding service to the borough.

To every volunteer who supports our services: thank you. Your time, energy, and passion are truly appreciated, and Redbridge is a stronger, more connected community because of you.
