A decade of dedication to the community by Mary Magson and her team of Ticknall Luncheon Club volunteers has been recognised in the South Derbyshire Community Awards.

The South Derbyshire Community Awards is an initiative to recognise and celebrate the good work done for the community by volunteers, voluntary groups and local businesses. After a resounding success last year, the Awards are another great celebration of the people and organisations who do so much for South Derbyshire.
