TARA Awards 2011
At the AGM held on March 10, 2011 the success of local TARAs was recognised.
Best Achieving TARA went to Redmond Community TARA (Carcroft) for the work that they undertake with all age grouos in the area. The TARA have also recently benefitted from £10,.000 lottery funding to continue their work with disengaged children and the fire service.
Most Innovative TARA was awarded to Edlington Royal TARA for their School Safety Initiative, the project has already been rolled out accross the West and is now set to go Doncaster wide.
Good Neighbour Award was presented to Diane Mordue of the Scawthorpe area, who is an ever helping hand in her community.
