Petrus says thanks to volunteers

Petrus says a big thanks to its volunteers

Volunteers at Petrus Community received a thank you for their contributions during a celebration event on Friday (1 June).

Petrus invited all its volunteers to an event at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Rochdale, where each individual received a certificate and recognition for their hard work and dedication from Petrus staff.

Petrus has over 80 volunteers who work across its services, including the community store, the hub, and pier. Over half of the volunteers have been doing so for over two years, and when asked, every volunteer said they felt welcomes and valued, and would recommend volunteering at Petrus to anyone.

Denis Skelton, co-ordinator at Petrus, said: “Volunteers are an integrate part of what we do at Petrus. Their commitment and hard work provides us with over 400 hours per week. We would struggle to do what we do without them and we are forever grateful. Thank you.”

Petrus Community is a registered charity which provides residential and day support services for people in housing need throughout the Borough of Rochdale (including Heywood and Middleton), Rossendale and Oldham.
