Milestones Mentors Honoured
The Southampton Volunteer Certification scheme aims to recognise the important contribution that volunteers make to their local community. 4 mentors from Khulisa's Milestones mentoring programme were nominated to be recognised for their hard work and over 100 hours of service in their roles. Annie Norman, Marie Ferguson, Lyn Martin and Charlotte Luckman were all presented with their certificates on the 29th October by the Mayor of Southampton and the CEO of Volunteering England. It was a really enjoyable afternoon and it was fantastic to see some of our brilliant volunteers recognised for the important work they carry out.
