BATHURST ESTATE

Volunteer of the Year Award

THE Bathurst Estate has existed since 1695 as a traditionally-based rural estate in the ownership of the Bathurst family.

Its main business is the management and letting of agricultural, residential and commercial property, but it is also actively involved in farming and forestry, and over recent years has diversified its interests.

Cirencester Park is open to the public and is the home of the Cotswold Show. It has also hosted events such as mud runner challenges and gatherings of Scouts and Guides.

The management team, headed by new chief executive officer Peter Clegg is delighted to be involved in the awards and to support the local volunteer sector.

Cirencester is well known for its community spirit, making it a key factor in the town’s prosperity.

Volunteering helps positively shape the community and the world we live in and without people who are willing to sacrifice their time and skills the community would be much worse off.

The selflessness of local volunteers is an inspiration to us all, and the management team at the Bathurst Estate is honoured to sponsor the Volunteer of the Year Award at this year's event.
