Another great picture!! The @cornmillshoppingcentre were nominated for our 'Small Company Big Heart' award. We recieved a fantatic nomination for them! 'The Cornmill has been a member of Darlington Cares for over a year and in that time has demonstrated its commitment to Darlington and its willingness to go the extra mile. Not only are their staff a regular participant in the Pick Pie and a Pint but they also sponsored one of the events. At Christmas, they donated to the Salvation Army Christmas appeal, they also teamed up with Age UK to host ‘Cuppa with a Copper’ and quietly support a raft of voluntary initiatives across town. It would be easy for them to focus on their business and take little interest in life in Darlington but this is the absolute opposite to how they operate.' #awards #finalists #smallcompanybigheart
Lovely pictures of our 'Good Egg' winner Lorraine Bulloch and our Director Seth Pearson. Here is a little snippet of Lorriane's nomination an after reading it's easy to see how she won! 'Lorraine has been working voluntarily and continuously with Brownies for 40 years this coming September and in Middleton St George for 20 years.' 'The work Lorraine has done to beautify Eastbourne Park and completely refresh the community Hub is extraordinary. Lorraine contacted a local kitchen fitting company, Nobia and through her persuasion and influence they provided us with free kitchen units for the community Hub to use. The purpose of the Hub refurbishment and park improvements is bringing the community together by inviting people - including the elderly from the local care homes - into the café within the Hub.' #winner #goodegg #awards #onedarlington #bestofdarlington
Throw Back Thursday to our World of Work Day at Red Hall School earlier this year. Look at the fantastic photos of the Children learning about careers in the police force. They enjoyed trying the uniform on and especially 'arresting' their teacher! #worldofwork #police #children #school #uniform #helmet #education
