Victoria, or Vic, has been volunteering and working for the community for twenty years. In that time she’s set up toddler groups, chaired school Parent/Teacher Associations, organised fundraising events and put on galas of all sizes. She’s the founder of Ready Steady Mums, a free group aiming to support the emotional and physical wellbeing of Harrogate mothers. Her work aims to create a sense of engagement and pride in the local community, and as such she was a founder member of the Oatlands Community Group. Her work isn’t limited by age either, with inter-generational activities taking high importance, as evidenced by her work with Dementia Forward on a “Mince Pies and Memories” event. Victoria is the embodiment of the phrase “it’s better to give than to receive”.
