Sir – Please allow Didcot Volunteer Centre to say a big thank you to Hagbourne Action Group, a small organisation which has dedicated time and energy to helping a local charity.

We thought readers would like to hear about their fundraiser which was especially arranged to benefit the 40 volunteers and 450-plus clients of Didcot Volunteer Centre.

Hagbourne Action Group organised a fun local event, a quiz evening with fish and chip supper which was held in East Hagbourne School, which was a great success and enjoyed by all participants.

Hagbourne Action Group donated the money raised – more than £800 – to us.

This will make a big difference to Didcot Volunteer Centre. We will use this money to streamline and extend our service to those who need us in Didcot and the surrounding villages.

We are Didcot’s community transport service. Our volunteers use their own vehicles to drive those without personal transport to and from medical and other appointments.

Clients give a donation based on the miles travelled. Our office is open from 10am to noon each weekday to arrange transport.

Do you need transport? Can you help DVC as a volunteer driver? We would love to hear from you.
