Angie brought a moment of happiness to many people and helped honour their special occasion and in some cases her kindness made people realise they weren’t alone and made them feel part of the estate.
Some comments we received about Angie:
'A great neighbour, caring and thoughtful, I wish I had a neighbour as thoughtful and generous as my relatives do!'

WOODSFEST
Woodsfest is an outdoor community music festival held at Woodkirk Valley Sports Club. Their first fest was back in 2015 and has grown every year continuing to help promote local bands and artists. Over 8000 people have enjoyed the event over the years.
Woodsfest is organised entirely by volunteers who work incredibly hard to pull it all together, last year saw more unique challenges, not just because of the extra considerations that they had to give due to Covid but the day before the festival they were let down with port-a-loos! The volunteers rallied round and managed to source enough porta-a-loos to allow the event to go ahead.
Some of the comments we received from those that nominated Woodsfest were:
'Despite having issues and a potential setback at the last minute, the event went ahead because of the determination and efforts of the team.'
'A great event for the people in the community.'

Award
CODY & JORDAN HARTLEY
When Cody was 11 years old she read a story about a 12 year old boy that had died from a cardiac arrest during a swimming lesson, but he probably would have survived if a defibrillator had been available, she didn't know the boy but something about the story stuck in her mind. What followed is a story of true determination and hard work.
Cody started her Defibrillator Campaign and has funded 12 defibrillators; she also does talks about the importance of these lifesaving pieces of kit.
Cody has only been able to buy these defibrillators because of the donations and proceeds from all her activities, her sister Jordan is always at her side and supports her every step of the way by getting up early must Sunday mornings to do car boot sales, often being the only person to spend full days bag packing in Asda, she has drove her to do all her talks and everywhere else she needed to go.
The campaign may be in Codys name but Jordan has been Codys rock throughout.
