In the recent Pavs Pembrokeshire Volunteering Awards, Maggie received the Trustee Award. The accolade comes as Maggie steps down from Span Arts after over 30 years of service. A Pavs spokeswoman said: Trustees are often the ‘unsung heroes’ of a charity, who give their time to ensure the organisation is financially safe, well run and legal, whilst also supporting the mission of the organisation - sometimes in difficult circumstances. Maggie has been the backbone of Span Arts, bringing her diligent, committed and caring influence to the arts charity. Maggie was part of an enthusiastic group who ran the Narberth Children s Festivals in the 80s, as well as supporting the programme at the Queens Hall, Narberth.
A COSY Christmas Night to celebrate the year’s events and activities put on by Span Arts in 2020 is taking place tomorrow evening, Thursday December 17. Like many organisations, Span Arts had to close their doors as the pandemic hit the UK in 2020, but new ways have been found to keep the community connected creatively throughout the lockdowns and restrictions. The Cosy Christmas Night, at 7pm on Span’s YouTube channel, will feature singing, puppet-making, photography, dance, together with the online music gigs and live online community theatre staged by Span during 2021. Span has been able to deliver all these exciting opportunities via the Arts at a Distance, Shared Worlds, SPAN Digidol, Clwb Digi Cares and Enhancing Pembrokeshire projects.
