We had a lovely moment today 02/06/2025 when Joan Sptittlehouse was awarded her 20 years volunteering award at the International Dance Group, Cornhill Centre, Banbury. Joan joined the International Dance Group in 1977 when the Cornhill Centre was The Banbury Old People’s Club. When the Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS then) took over the Old People’s Club Joan became a volunteer. You can see from the image that Avis from Cornhill Companions really caught Joan unawares. Well done Joan, you're amazing :0)

Royal Voluntary Service, Cornhill Centre, Banbury had a visit from Cllr. Chukwudi Okeke (Chuk) and Cllr. Becky Clarke, MBE on Friday 16/05/2025. The councillors met with the wonderful volunteers and amazing clients from our Friday Club before having a look at the parking hardships the Cornhill Centre faces. There was a particularly lovely moment when Chuk, who is currently Chairman of Cherwell District Council and Deputy Banbury Town Mayor, met with our very own former Banbury Town Mayor, Tina Wren. Tina had quite a few words of advice for Chuk. Chris Lee, Service Assistant and Keith Davies, Service Manager got in on a photo opportunity with the councillors too :0)

Royal Voluntary Service (RVS), Cornhill, Banbury needs £50,000 annually to cover the costs of our very special community venue. This appeal has been set up so donations can be made towards that cost. Even £500 will only cover 1% of the total cost through donations. It would be utterly amazing if our fundraising page was able to contribute towards 10% of the total. Please, please help if you're able to do so.

**If you aren't able to donate sharing our post helps loads too. A massive thank you from us all**
