Thank You to the Volunteers of the Cranfold Villages 💙

Across the Cranfold villages, there is something quietly extraordinary happening every single day.

It’s not always loud and it doesn’t always come with headlines or applause. Often, it’s simply people showing up, giving their time, energy, skills and kindness because they care about where they live and the people who share it with them.

To all the volunteers and volunteer organisations who support our community throughout the year: thank you.

Thank you to those who organise events, raise vital funds, run groups and clubs, look out for neighbours, offer lifts, make phone calls, serve refreshments, set up halls, clear up afterwards, and somehow do it all with good humour and generosity. Thank you to those who step in during difficult times, who support the vulnerable, who give comfort, companionship and practical help when it’s most needed.

So many incredible individuals give up their time often quietly and without recognition to make life better for others. Whether it’s a few hours now and then, or countless hours week after week, every contribution matters. Every pound raised, every moment given, every small act of kindness adds up to something much bigger, a stronger, kinder, more connected community.

What makes the Cranfold villages special isn’t just where we live it is how we look after one another. That spirit exists because of you.

On behalf of everyone who benefits from your hard work, compassion and commitment we appreciate you, and we are deeply grateful.

We also extend our sincere thanks to all those who serve our community through the emergency services, the armed forces and the NHS, as well as to carers who provide constant support to others. Especially over the Christmas holidays, when many are able to rest and spend time with loved ones, these individuals remain on call, working tirelessly to keep others safe, cared for and supported. Their dedication, sacrifice and sense of duty are deeply appreciated, and we are profoundly grateful for all that they do.

We would like to say a special thank you to Cranleigh Lions especially for the amazing work they do leading up to Christmas.

Thank you to all our fantastic volunteers for everything you do, all year round.
