Reigate and Banstead Borough Council presented some long service awards to volunteers earlier this month.

As part of the annual Reigate and Banstead Volunteer Awards, the Long Service Award was introduced this year to coincide with the Council’s 50th anniversary. 

The Mayor of Reigate and Banstead, Councillor Eddy Humphreys, gave the winners their certificates and thanked them for their dedication and hard work.

The awards were presented by Nicholas Owen who was also honoured for his voluntary work with the Children’s Trust and St Catherine’s Hospice. A team award was presented to volunteers from the Redhill Corps of Drums and Band; four of whom have been with the band for over 30 years.
