VOLUNTEERS and community groups in Tyldesley and Astley will get a pat on the back at a special thank you event next Thursday at Fred Longworth High School, Tyldesley, between 6pm and 8pm.
Organisers from Wigan Council's Township Programme say that the event is a chance for volunteers, community, voluntary organisations and funders to get together and celebrate what they have achieved in their local communities.
Some of the local groups will entertain the audience with a demonstration of what they have achieved in their local communities.
Townships co-ordinator Lynn Kay said: "It is all about celebrating the good things that community and voluntary groups do within their area to make a real difference.
"This event will allow everybody to get some ideas about what is happening in their community and also learn about what funding is available to support their achievements."
Admission is free and light refreshments will be served.
