JUST a note to thank Mary Winder for her kind words of support (BEN Letters Page, October 23).

I co-ordinate the Volunteer team for Bolton Bond Board. As a homeless charity we are always pleased to receive feedback from the local community. I was especially grateful to have the work of the Volunteers recognised.

Our team of dedicated and hard working Volunteers give their time in return for no financial benefit to themselves. Yet the service they provide is of great value to our clients and the community in general. Charles, Janet, Rionach, Paul, Paddy, Tina and Barbara offer their skills to ensure people get the information and support they need to make their accommodation permanent.

This is greatly appreciated. We are continually recruiting new Volunteers to our team. Anyone who is interested in this challenging and essential work is welcome to contact me, Sinad on 01204 366328. Thank you again to Mary and everyone at The Friends' Meeting House for their continued support.
