Julie Evans, Deborah Earl and Sharon Foden have been shortlisted for doing their bit for the community.
Julie Evans dived straight in to Carlisle-based support group Leave a Light On when the opportunity came up.
Julie’s role is behind the scenes, and on a purely voluntary basis but yet she has put in 24/7 hours when needed.
She was instrumental in managing LALO strongest-willed volunteers — people that came together, but could often clash in their passions to help.
Julie was the first woman who managed ‘the balancing act’, co-ordinating projects and acting as PA to Richard Francis, who started Leave a Light On, whilst he needed to focus on his own employment/studies/family duties.
