A COUNCIL has thanked volunteers for their ongoing hard work.

Next week is Volunteers’ Week. It’s a chance to say thank you to the millions of volunteers across the UK.

A Wrexham Council spokesman said: "Here in Wrexham, volunteers play a crucial role; helping community projects and charities, and supporting local services like the council, health and emergency services.

"They make a difference to lives all over the county borough, and are always ready to step up and help when new situations arise.

"This has never been more evident than during the current emergency.

"Volunteers co-ordinated by the Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrexham (AVOW) have helped deliver food, pick up prescriptions and do all kinds of other work to help the most vulnerable.

"So let’s say thank you to volunteers all over the county borough, and use next week to think about what they do for us.

"There are lots of heroes in our midst at the moment. Volunteers are definitely among them."
