On Saturday 18th June the award ceremony was held for the Charnwood Community Heroes at Burleigh Court in Loughborough, hosted by Mark Rowley of Fosse 107. Two Syston residents who make a huge difference to the community won an award.
Ros has been the coordinator and leader of the community group – friends of Barkby road cemetery, Syston for many years. She works tirelessly with members of the community, to improve the cemetery itself and the cemetery chapel, where people can reflect. She has been involved in painting the chapel and bringing it back into regular use by members of the public. It is now a bright and welcoming place.
