Simple

Results
Did you know: A MYSTERY tour ended in a slap-up silver service afternoon tea at the Ritz Hotel in London for two long-serving bakers at The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop. Steve Mellor and Nigel Prickett said they were “treated like Royalty” by owners Andrew and Joanne Hunter after each notching up 25 years continuous employment in the 160-year-old business. “It just showed how much they appreciate us and it is something neither of us will ever forget,” said 57-year-Nigel. The surprise trip to London for both men, and their wives, also included first-class train travel, lunch at Harrods, an evening at The Phantom of the Opera and an overnight stay at the Westminster Plaza overlooking the Thames.

Get in touch to place your advert: 015394 44965 / mail@employment-pages.co.uk
“Andrew just told us to pack overnight bags and turn up at the shop one morning,” explained 58-year-old Steve. “The next thing we knew we were on the train to London and the next two days were just fantastic.” Amidst all the high jinks and star treatment was a casual stroll through Baker Street. “We were all walking along when Andrew suddenly stopped us and asked if we knew where we were,” said Nigel. “I said ‘London isn’t it?’ before he pointed up at the street sign! We had to get a photograph there of course.” Whilst both men loved their capital days away it was still wonderful to return to the rolling hills and fresh air of the Lake District. “I love my work and life in Grasmere and I can be at work in three minutes on my bike,” said Nigel. “The thought of commuting an hour or more to get to work in London would fill me with dread.” Similarly, Steve’s hobby of fishing on Thirlmere and Grasmere complements working in a close-knit family business in the Lake District. “In any case the city comes to us in that we get all the big stars coming into the shop,” he said. His favourite celebrity? “Dave Hill, the lead guitarist from Slade. Their album Slade Alive! was one of the first ever albums I bought in 1972,” said Steve. “He was a real character even if meeting one of my teenage musical heroes in the shop where I work was a little surreal!”
Make community volunteering your New Year’s resolution This New Year Cumbria County Council’s Deputy Leader is urging people to make community volunteering their resolution for 2015. Councillor Patricia Bell’s call comes against the backdrop of unprecedented council funding cuts, due to the Government’s austerity drive, which will wipe £213 million off the council’s budget by 2017. Cllr Bell says given the scale of the funding cuts, the council will be increasingly looking to local people to step and help their local communities: “We’re losing more than one pound in every four we have to spend, and most of the savings are coming from staff reductions – by 2017 the council will have 5,000 staff, half the number we employed in 2010. As we downscale, we will increasingly be looking to Cumbrians to come forward and offer their time to help their communities.” There are many ways people can volunteer, including: - On-call firefighter – keep your local community safe - Community volunteers – for the fire service doing homes safety visits and educational activities with schools - Volunteer driver - give someone a lift to the dentist or the supermarket - Snow champions – help keep your roads and pavements clear of snow and ice - Nightstop – open your home to a young person who has nowhere to stay that night - Neighbourhood care volunteer - tackling loneliness in your community Cllr Bell continued:

“Our volunteers provide a vital service, particularly for vulnerable adults and young people. The social benefit that they provide their communities is immense, recent national research suggests in economic terms it could top £50bn a year. The volunteers themselves also benefit, the same research showed they report higher levels of happiness and well-being. All together it’s a win-win. There are many people out there with the skills and experience to make a difference: we’d love to hear from them.”
