International Volunteer Day
The United Nations has designated 5 December as International Volunteer Day to celebrate the power and potential of volunteerism.
Bedford Borough Mayor Dave Hodgson said "I wanted to take the opportunity, on International Volunteer Day, to thank all the Borough's volunteers for everthing they do. This year, has been more challenging than any other and I would to especially thank those that have volunteers to help the Community Hub or to help local residents during the Coronavirus pandemic."
