I am pround to have attended every AGM for the past 8 years. I am a ‘member’ of The Rural Cambs CAB’ and am passionate on the work and dedication that 100 volunteers carry out day by day – week by week supporting our community.
Last year was not a good year for our CAB accounting issues/errors nearly brought them down. Intrim CEO Nick Bencowe and the small team have helped stabilise the situation.
Consistency is now in place with Nick appointed permamant CEO.
I am pleased to report that Whittlesey Town Council financially have supported The Rural CAB for a number of years, their contribution of £5,500 annually help dozens of people from the Whittlesey area –
Sessions are held most Friday mornings at Whittlesey Library – booking is essential and this is done on a first come basis on Friday morning.
The CAB have also been holding sessions every month at The Eastrea Centre and this is funded by the local charities.
This year saw a good attendance, myself as a ‘Member’ and Cllr Mrs K Mayor representing WTC/FDC.
Also suporting the event was The High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire His Honour N.A. McKittrick DL (above) who was very compliamentary on the work the CAB are doing.
