It was an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of what we do. Special thanks to Lorna who let all the other stall holders know about us.

Councillor Stuart Dark MBE, Chair of Norfolk County Council, 20th September 2024

Councillor Dark’s theme for his year as Chair of Norfolk County Council is supporting and celebrating volunteers and promoting volunteering in Norfolk. He declared his wish to visit and thank as many voluntary organisations as possible and The Mardler responded with an invitation.

In a recorded message for our volunteers and listeners he said:

Norfolk has a tradition of people volunteering with over 10,000 people in various places right across our great county that are actually going out and into our communities and doing wonderful work.

So I thought it was really important to come here and say thank you. It is noticed beyond yourselves and your listeners and it really does make Norfolk a more colourful more vibrant and frankly a better place than it was.

So thank you for all that you are doing.
