A Shaw volunteer has been recognised as First Choice Homes Oldham’s Hidden Hero for June after being praised for her commitment to the Friends of Dunwood Park.
Janet Nuttall received the award in recognition of her contribution to the community group and its work to improve the park.
Mrs Nuttall, 68, a retired HR administrator, has volunteered with the Friends of Dunwood Park for around a year and leads on grants and fundraising.
Drawing on her experience in book keeping, money management and handling cash, she supports the group’s fundraising activities and helps secure funding for projects benefiting the park.
She was nominated by Shaw and Crompton parish councillor Joseph Beeston, who chairs the Friends of Dunwood Park.
He said, “Janet Nuttall is a truly valued member of the Friends of Dunwood Park team, and her dedication to our community deserves special recognition.
“She consistently goes above and beyond in everything she does, giving her time generously to support our activities, improve the park, and help bring people together.
“Her enthusiasm, commitment, and willingness to help wherever needed have made a real and lasting difference to both the group and the wider community.
“On behalf of everyone at Friends of Dunwood Park, I would like to thank Janet for her outstanding contribution. We are extremely fortunate to have her and this recognition is thoroughly deserved.”
Mrs Nuttall received a certificate and a £50 shopping voucher from First Choice Homes Oldham neighbourhood co ordinator for Shaw and Crompton Rebecca Poff.
The mother of two and grandmother of one said, “I’m absolutely thrilled to be nominated as a Hidden Hero. I love being involved with the Friends of Dunwood Park, helping make the park where I live a lovely place for the community.
“As a Shaw resident for forty years, it’s important to me to give back. I don’t do it for recognition, but being recognised for the effort I put in is a lovely feeling.”
