Winwick Parish Council would like to offer huge congratulations to everyone involved with the Winwick Litter Network following the presentation
of the King’s Award for Voluntary Service at Warrington Town Hall yesterday.
This is an incredible achievement and a fitting recognition of the countless hours volunteers give to helping keep Winwick and the wider Warrington area clean, tidy and welcoming for everyone.
The King’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award a voluntary group can receive and is often described as the MBE for volunteer groups. To be one of only two litter groups across the UK and Northern Ireland to receive the award in 2025 is something everyone connected with the network should be immensely proud of.
Special congratulations to George Melvin, Dave Taylor, Bob Towers, Parish Cllr Emma Lavender, Parish Cllr Wendy Rennison and all of the volunteers who represented Winwick at the ceremony, alongside volunteers from across Warrington including Croft Litter Network, Peel Hall Litter team and the Woody Wombles in Burtonwood.
Whether in the wind, rain or sunshine, the dedication shown by volunteers week after week makes a real difference to our communities and sets a fantastic example of community spirit in action.
Well done to everybody involved on this truly well-deserved recognition.
