🌟 Seaton Community Champion 🌟

We are incredibly proud to thank Annabelle for her outstanding dedication to our community. Since 2019, she has volunteered with 1st Seaton Brownies and Rainbows, becoming a fantastic role model for the young girls in our village.

From organising weekly meetings and decorating the church, to supporting families and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes, her commitment never goes unnoticed. Alongside a full-time job, she continues to give her time selflessly—helping at events, managing finances, and always going the extra mile.

Annabelle has given so much to Seaton, making a real difference to the lives of so many. She truly deserves recognition for everything she does
