There are many people who make the ward a great place and this month we are shining a light on a very special community champion Matthew.
Mathew first started volunteering through Mencap, which is a UK charity that supports people with a learning disability and their families.
Mathew volunteers twice a week and is supported by staff at the park, helping with litter picking, tidying, planting, events and maintaining the bird hide. Mathew says the best part of volunteering is meeting people but enjoys the wildlife and keeping the park clean. Mathew also enjoys swimming and is a keen runner, completing several marathons.
We think you will agree, Mathew is very deserving of the title Community Champion!
