A SOCIAL centre thanked everyone for their support in celebration of their new minibus.

Organisations including Rayleigh Lions, the Rotary Club and Oddfellows contributed towards Hockley and Hawkwell’s social centre’s campaign to raise enough money for the minibus.

The day showed off the new minibus and gave everyone a chance to be publicly thanked with a buffet lunch and celebrations.

Others that helped make the minibus possible included the council, businesses, some of which held fundraisers and individuals and staff from the centre.
