More than 60 voluntary groups from across Wokingham have been recognised for their great work in the area.
The mayor of Wokingham Borough, Councillor Rob Stanton hosted the Voluntary Sector reception at Finchampstead Baptist Centre in Gorse Ride North as an opportunity for representatives to talk about the support they provide and share ideas.
Attendees at the event in Finchampstead, Berkshire, also enjoyed a talk by Phil Cook of Involve about the work of Cancer Champions, one of the mayor's chosen charities.
Cancer Champions provides information to those who have had a diagnosis, and their loved ones, to ensure that they get all the support they need.
It particularly focuses on the aftercare of patients who have undergone cancer treatment and has been supported by Involve, which provides voluntary, community and faith groups across the borough.
Cllr Rob Stanton said: "I was delighted to be able to have to opportunity on Wednesday to thank those in the voluntary sector who work tirelessly to help and support those in the community, and make the borough a better place to live and work."
