On the 17th
December West Berkshire Mencap’s Chief Executive Leila Ferguson and Fundraising
Manager Carrie-Anne Ferrie visited ADP Dealer Services International in Hungerford
to present their ‘Fundraising Volunteer of the Year’ award to one of ADP’s employees
Stuart March. The presentation had been arranged in complete secret with
Stuart’s managers Andrew Chetland and Andy Mason and was a complete surprise to
Stuart.
Stuart has been
taking part in ADP’s Lend a Hand Scheme where they kindly allow their employees
to take time out of their work schedule to do charitable work. Stuart has been
West Berkshire Mencap’s volunteer photographer through this scheme for the last
year and this has helped them tremendously to raise awareness of their work and
their fundraising endeavours.
Carrie-Anne
Ferrie, Fundraising Manager for West Berkshire Mencap, says “Stuart has been an
absolutely amazing volunteer for us and really has become a very important part
of the fundraising team. Stuart will turn up to take photos no matter if it is
in spare time and whatever the weather. We are extremely grateful to him and
his employer for allowing us to use his fantastic photography skills to help us
raise awareness of what we do and why it is important. He has really earnt the
title of Fundraising Volunteer of the Year for us!”
