The Rotary Club of Middleton President, Sue Furby said: “I am proud to be awarding this ‘Paul Harris Fellowship’ Award to Sue and Terry for their selfless commitment to the youngsters of Middleton and their outstanding contribution to their local community.”
Sue and Terry have worked supporting the young people of Middleton with educational and occupational projects for twenty years, providing them with hope for the future and a purpose in life.
