NE Herts MP Oliver Heald attended the Volunteers Event at Spirella on Saturday organised by the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation. The event featured stalls from a large number of voluntary organisations, all welcoming new recruits. Oliver was met by Terry Gray of the Foundation and spoke to all those manning the stalls. Commenting Oliver said:
""This was a very impressive array of organisations from those helping the disadvantaged such as Mind and Leisure Direct to Archaeology and the Norton Bowls Club. The Rotary and Round Table were there too. It is a real tribute to the good-hearted of the Garden City that there are so many doing such good work.""
