This week is #VolunteersWeek2020 and I'd like to say and extra special #ThankYou to the thousands of #volunteers in #Bedfordshire who make a huge difference to the lives of others. My weekly message is available at: centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/info/34/hm_lor…

As we come to the end of #VolunteersWeek we want to say a ginormous thank you to all our #SoupFest volunteers - we couldn’t do it without you. See you again this year - Tuesday December 1st - Harpur Square, Bedford. #SoupFest2020

So proud of Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation and partners for the way in which they have stepped up and assisted so many of our charitable organisations in #Bedfordshire when they needed it most. The grants that have been awarded will make a huge difference in our county #ThankYou

Has the COVID-19 pandemic changed how you think about tech? TechSoup are inviting organisations to take part and share their thoughts in this global survey that will inform funders on the most impactful ways to help. #NeverMoreNeeded

Pls help. We’re compiling a shareable weekly timetable of on-line creative workshops and activity for people who are/have been homeless. Please let us know if you want to be included and please RT. Deadline 7 Aug

@soupfestbeds is great

Thank you so much - we’re gutted that we can’t run the event this year but proud to celebrate our achievements from previous years - front page news no less! We’re delighted to still be issuing grants to help our homeless #GivingTuesday

Thank you for your continued support and all you do to shine a light on the great #community and #charitable initiatives that take place throughout #Bedfordshire

Missing SoupFest this year. Thanks for the update .. look forward to your return. Summer icecream instead?

Today is #InternationalVolunteerDay and I’m showing my appreciation of all our wonderful #volunteers & #charities every day during #December2020. Volunteers give their time freely; they are not paid - not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless #ThankYou

Day 6 of thanking wonderful charities in Bedfordshire during #December2020. Today my shout out goes to Bedford Daycare Hospice, Tibbs Dementia & Friends of Foster Hill Road Cemetery You have all proved your value throughout the pandemic. Keep up the good work, you are all AMAZING! #ThankYou

We are over the moon for Fourth Former Alexander Olleson who has just won the BBC Young Chorister of the Year. He wowed judges with his stunning singing voice and we couldn’t be more proud of his fantastic achievement. Congratulations Alexander! Full story to follow.

Nice work Thomas Skinner ⚒ - we were sad not to hold our #soupfest #fundraiser this year - we loved having you on board in 2019 - see you back in #Bedford in 2021!

So many generous spirited souls out there. Congratulations on all your hard work. Brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much for the mention. We are so grateful to all our volunteers for all they do to help us raise funds to help support Bedford’s homeless and rough sleepers, and those moving off the street into accommodation, throughout the year.
