Thanks to Clare for this …
Abingdon charity shop volunteer Jeannette Milligan has received national recognition for her work at the town’s Cancer Research UK shop in Bury Street.
Jeannette has volunteered at the shop for eight years, taking on responsibility for everything from checking jigsaws and sorting stock and is now its jewellery specialist. She has raised thousand of pounds for the charity, taking part in a trek along the Great Wall of China and last year joining a team cycling 100 miles on a spinner bike in the Abingdon shop window.
Louise Kieft, co-manager, said: “Jeannette has been unfortunate to lose some very close friends to cancer and as a result has become more passionate to our cause, raising our profile and funds wherever she can.”
My mum deserves every bit of recognition and more! She is a diamond! X
Well done Jeannette. Much deserved recognition. Thank you for all of your magnificent efforts.
Well done to Jeanette
