Charity shop volunteer is honoured
A charity shop volunteer has received national recognition for her work at the town’s Cancer Research UK shop.
Jeannette Milligan has volunteered at the Bury Street shop for eight years.
She has raised thousand of pounds for the charity, taking part in a trek along the Great Wall of China and cycling 100 miles on a spinner bike in the Abingdon shop window.
In honour of her work, Mrs Milligan has received a special commendation in Cancer Research UK’s Flame of Hope awards.
There were 253 nominations nationally for the award and Mrs Milligan was one of 24 to receive a special commendation.
