Blyth Town Mayor, Mark Peart, was delighted to attend the 10th Anniversary Celebrations of the Comrades in Chairs Club at Blyth Comrades Club.

The Mayor was honoured to present awards recognising outstanding support and dedication to the group over the past decade. Special recognition was given to the club's Treasurer, Margaret Paton for her dedicated service over the last 10 years, and to Brian Ord, whose generosity in providing a room free of charge each week has enabled the club to continue bringing people together.

The celebration was very well attended and provided an opportunity to reflect on the friendships and memories created over the years. Members paid a touching tribute to those who are no longer with us, displaying their photographs alongside commemorative busts on a dedicated remembrance table beside the anniversary cake.

The Comrades in Chairs Club plays an important role in tackling loneliness and social isolation within our community. Members meet every Thursday from 10.30am to 12 noon at Blyth Comrades Club, where they enjoy socialising, bingo, chair aerobics, refreshments and companionship. New members are always welcome, and attendance costs just £2 per week, including refreshments.

Congratulations to everyone involved in reaching this wonderful milestone. A good time was had by all, and here's to many more years of friendship, support and community spirit.

🌟 Celebrating Blyth’s Amazing Volunteers 🌟

As Volunteers’ Week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible volunteers, community groups and organisations who do so much for Blyth all year round.

We were thrilled to be able to honour some of Blyth’s wonderful volunteers and community champions last week at our Annual Town Meeting, through our Good Citizen Awards. Recognising and supporting the people who give their time, energy and care to our town is something we are proud to do throughout the year.

We have also been in awe this week seeing so many posts online celebrating the fantastic groups we have here in Blyth, and the amazing volunteers behind them. From litter picking and youth work, to sport, wellbeing, heritage, events, community support and so much more — Blyth is full of people who quietly go above and beyond.

At Blyth Town Council, we are proud to support many local groups through our Community Grants and Councillors’ Small Schemes Funding, helping organisations deliver projects, activities and services that benefit residents across the town.

Whether you volunteer every week, help behind the scenes, support your local group, or give your time whenever you can — thank you. Blyth is stronger, kinder and brighter because of you. 💙
