This video is a follow up to the "Tale of Two Green Men" (see One Edgbaston magazine and the Evening Mail,or watch the video!) The video was created by "Chad Vale TV" - The Charles Henry Foyle Trust gave Chad Vale School a grant of £2000 to buy 10 video cameras and a Macbook: this shows what they have done with it

Volunteers Celebration for Edgbaston

An event is to be organised in the New Year to thank volunteers for their contribution to the community in Edgbaston. There are many ways volunteers support people and projects in Edgbaston and an evening of celebration will be held to acknowledge some of the hard work and commitment that takes place.

There are many examples we can call on, of how people regularly volunteer their time for their community. There are some people who help the elderly and frail perhaps by visiting to prevent loneliness, or by providing transport to get people to appointments or a day out. Others volunteer at luncheon clubs or support activities for people with disabilities.
