Mold Town Council held its first virtual Community Awards evening on March 25. Mayor of Mold, Councillor Teresa Carberry, said: “This year Mold Town Council received over 150 nominations with 55 groups, businesses and individuals nominated. We often hear people say how difficult it is to pick the winners – but believe me it really was. It was inspirational to hear how people had worked in creative and multi-various ways to help others. Quite simply, the nominees saw a local need and stepped in to fill it – they have combined compassion with pragmatism and many of us owe them a debt of gratitude. Everyone nominated has enriched the lives of our community, by their actions.
Dawn Ridding with Parkfields’ staff - Maxine Wright, Lorraine Brown and Caroline Collis and food for the Community Fridge scheme A COMMUNITY centre in Mold has launched a fridge scheme in order to support those in the area. The Parkfields Community Centre aims to reduce food waste at the same time as ensuring that nobody within the community has to go hungry. The fridge operates on the simple principle of take what you need, give what you can and is stocked from a mixture of donations and surplus stock. It is supported by environmental charity Hubbub UK, which is a nationwide network to tackle food waste.
