Louise Woodhouse was named "junior warden of the year" for Alkrington. Louise is always polite and helpful, and shows great commitment to her friends at junior wardens by turning up on time every week

The RBH junior warden scheme empowers young people aged 8-12 to play vital roles improving their neighbourhood and community. RBH runs a number of successful schemes across the Borough, thanks to the hard work of local volunteers supported by RBH employees.

Ruth Sillence, RBH Communities First Co-ordinator, said: “We’re really pleased with the contribution that our junior wardens across the Borough have made to their local community, and we’re also extremely thankful for our volunteers without whom the schemes could not operate.”

The successful junior wardens received their awards at the junior warden Christmas party, held on 23 December at Back O’th Moss Community Centre.
