Help is at Hand

Syston and District Volunteer Centre organised this event on Saturday 9th July and what a successful day it was too.
Ann Davies, presenter on East Midlands Today officially opened the event and spent about two hours talking to all the exhibitors and visitors alike.
There were lots of selfies being taken with her. She is a really lovely person and gave time to everyone who wanted to talk to her.
There were 33 exhibitors made up of organisations from in or around Syston who provide a wide range of services to people in our community. Syston Band provided the music for the event.
The event came about after the profits from the sale of SKB calendars 2022, provided the charity with enough funds to hire a very large marquee and invite as many different services to come along and talk to people about what they do.
It is hoped that this new venture can be built upon by the charity and help bring together all these range of services into a community hub.
