Volunteer of the Year Award 2007
Betty Simpson, a volunteer for Homecall for 14 years, was voted "Volunteer of the Year" at the Bexhill Achievers Award 2007 held at The De La Warr Pavilion on Tuesday evening the 4th September. This follows the award to Homecall of "Charity of the Year" in 2006.
Betty has been a dedicated volunteer, during her 14 years she has supported several visually impaired people helping them cope with the difficulties of sight loss. She is always cheerful and kind and her support is always much appreciated. Her voluntary work doesn't stop there however! For more than 30 years from 1963 Betty supported 2nd Bexhill Scouts and for most of this time she was their secretary. For the last 35 years at least Betty has also supported both the RNLI and the Royal British Legion, in her well-earned position, collecting outside the HSBC on the corner of Western Road and Devonshire Road. St Michaels Hospice have also benefited from her support where, for the last 4½ years, Betty has volunteered at the Pine Tree restaurant in St Leonard's Road. Betty last year embarked on new voluntary work. In memory of her brother who was a Spitfire Pilot she is now supporting RAFA on their flag days too.
Homecall salutes you Betty!
Your award recognises your wonderful support to the people of Bexhill.
