Vodafone come to help out

Vodafone staff visit the cemetery on a volunteer day

A number of staff from local mobile phone firm Vodafone came to the cemetery on a company volunteer day. The volunteer days allow staff take a day out of the office to participate in local events and work with groups on local projects. 

On this day, they came to the cemetery to assist with the launch of the monument recording group and start recording the details of the inscriptions on the memorials.

The weather was a little damp, but that did not afftect the determination of all who attended.
