SCORES of people who volunteer their time to help others in Burnley are to receive a civic thank-you from mayor Coun Mrs Enid Tate at a ceremony in the Town Hall on June 3.

The event, organised jointly by the council, Burnley Council for Voluntary Service and Initiative Burnley, and sponsored by North West Water, marks National Volunteers' Week.

Coun Tate said: "This week gives communities a chance to highlight the enormous commitment given by volunteers who give up their time willingly to improve quality of life of others."
