Congratulations to our chair of trustees & founder Mick Gray on his 'Champion of Change' award from @Rotary, so well deserved for his hard work to launch and establish the service. Mick & other trustees also recently welcomed @CatSmithMP to see the chairs & meet some of visitors.

As a volunteer with us we can promise you'll get a tremendous sense of pride & enjoyment from your kindly-donated time. We can't always promise that you'll meet a dinosaur but you never know ... our David had a close encounter today when he helped Alice have a great day out!

There's some great activities and events here. We often see huge kites being flown over Central Beach so the Beach School event at Rossall Point on June 4th looks great ... you can learn how to make your own, slightly smaller kite!
Our latest round up of events and activities for this half term and June for all the family. All activities must be booked. Please contact Visit Garstang on 01995 602125 or email garstangtic@wyre.gov.uk to book your space. https://t.co/okfXn3a8SZ
