Taunton Deane MP, Rebecca Pow, joined staff from Somerset Sight to thank their Taunton area volunteers with tea and cakes at the charity’s headquarters in Northfield House in Taunton.

Chief Executive Officer, Tom Winsborough plus Development Officer, Becky Fry were amongst other staff who were kept busy serving tea and cakes to some of the hardworking volunteers who were being honoured, whilst Evie Cosgrove from Taunton kept the crowd entertained by singing a set of beautiful songs.
