An Award for Volunteer – Charles Farmer.

It was a pleasure dropping into the Guildford Food Bank on Friday evening to present Charles Farmer with his High Sheriff Award. Charles has volunteered for many years, fives days a week at the food bank and is a “wonderful hardworking, gentle, humorous and incredibly kind person” as described by his co-workers. Suzanne and I encountered him when we visited the food bank last year and were so impressed as we watched him busying around and helping everybody.

Charles typifies the people Suzanne and I have encountered throughout my Shrieval year; quietly, selflessly, seeking to improve the lives of others. It is our pleasure to give him the acclaim he so richly deserves. It was wonderful, so many of Charle’s fellow volunteers were also there to celebrate with him; along with Geoff Andrews, Chair of Trustees.
