4. Dane Sound Heroes Award for a Community Group

Presented to The Holmes Chapel Partnership

During 2021 The Partnership did many things to help and improve the community including Tree planting in the Dane Valley, supporting the Parish Council with community support during lockdown and restrictions but one event is highlighted as a resounding success for all the community the new improved and extended Holmes Chapel Christmas Market. The event took a lot of organising by the team of volunteers from the village on car parks, stewarding, liaising with stallholders, setting up the event, safety management to name a few of the many volunteer roles on the day. We must also mention how the community love the Santa Sleigh ride around the village over two weeks of December bringing joy to young and old.

Many of the children that The Toy Appeal supports will not be getting cuddles at home so having their own teddy is really important and Jo makes this possible”

“Kerry stands out in her volunteering efforts because she goes the extra mile, and more in her efforts to help and care for others at the club, helping club members and their families mental wellbeing, talking with members she may be worried about, caring for others at all times and inspiring others to do so as well. Kerry set up boxing classes for girls to be fully inclusive. She has a real connection with all the members and is always there to help I would love this unassuming superhero get the recognition she deserves”

Holmes Chapel Lights Up

Dane Sound Community Radio helped to make the village Merry & Bright over the festive season by creating a Tinsel Trail around the village where businesses and residents created illuminations in their gardens, homes and shop windows to add a little joy to all the community. A Map was created to identify the locations for Santas Elves to follow on their search for the bright lights of Holmes Chapel.
