A GROUP of volunteers at the Warrington Stroke Association have been recognised for their long service.

Three volunteers - Kate Airey, Carole Rice and Joyce Hampton - were presented with five-year service certificates, while Barbara Whittaker was given a 10-year award.

Carol Smith, who presented the volunteers with their certificates, said: "It is great to have loyal volunteers but I also need new volunteers to work at the group with people who have communication needs after a stroke. It is great fun."

The group meets on Thursday from 1pm until 3pm at Alford Sports and Social Club on Manchester Road.
