Beeston Volunteers Celebrated at Mayor’s Afternoon Tea

30/10/2025 - On 15 October, the Mayor of the Borough of Broxtowe, Councillor Robert Bullock celebrated volunteers and community leaders in Beeston at the Mayor’s Afternoon Tea.

Volunteers from a wide range of organisations were invited, including guests from Broxtowe Community Project, Chilwell community cafe - Chelsey cafe, Hope House, Chilwell and Attenborough scout group, girlguiding group, Edwina's Hair Design, Community Speed Watch, Forever Stars, Citizens Advice Broxtowe, Phoenix Football Club, Beeston U3a, and many more. Between them, they have improved countless lives and made Beeston a better place to live.

Speaking at the event, Robert said, “It is an honour to celebrate the work of these inspirational people. Whether it’s protecting our environment, working with vulnerable people, or preserving our proud heritage, Beeston would not be the same without them. Today was the least we could do to say ‘thank you’ for all their hard work.”

As well as getting some food and well-earned respite, it was a chance for guests to make new connections share their experiences with others. There was also a raffle, with proceeds going towards the Mayor’s chosen charities Broxtowe Women's Project and The Brain Tumour Charity. The generous donations of attendees raised £130 for these important causes.

The actions of volunteers are vital in creating a prosperous Broxtowe which residents are proud of. Their work has helped to create a Borough full of opportunity where people can live happy and healthy lives. Beeston and the whole of Broxtowe thanks them.
