"In March 2020 Kerry and Jo set up a Facebook group called Angels of King's Lynn as a resource for people needing help and support. Soon Debbie was on board building a team of Activity Angels who posted 3 videos every day to entertain, educate and inspire, for around 6 months ..... some, including the Singing Angels) are still posting regularly. Kerry is still running the group, providing local information and advice to over 6,000 members.

We brought the house down when Kerry was announced as Volunteer of the Year."
