What's in it for me you ask?… View moreVolunteers are urgently needed to visit older people for up to an hour, once a week.

The big winner on the night was White Rose Cars who took out the coveted supreme award - alongside the professional services award.
If you went, what was your favourite part of the evening? Mine was the food! hehe.

Stripes is a 4 month old chicken who unfortunately has just started to look and sound like a rooster.

He has been hand reared by two young girls, but since he is now crowing, he is no longer allowed in the city. As you can see, he's very tame and is used to being handled and cuddled.
