Janet Hancey
I first started volunteering for The Pink Place in 2010. I currently manage The Pink Place Facebook page and it is great to see how many people read, share and like our page. I also help at various fund raising events and enjoy baking cakes when needed for cake sales and other events.
Earlier this year I took up running and have sinced joined Sherfield Park Runners. I take part in Parkrun at the Memorial Park every saturday proudly wearing my Pink Place running vest. I have also entered Fleet 10k - and will be running this in aid of The Pink Place, this will be the furthest I have run!
