If you ever wanted to know community spirit was about then all you need to do was to go to the Rudd Awards last Friday evening. Held at St Peter’s Church in the heart of the village, and organised by the Ruddington Village Community Partnership, they showcased and celebrated the very best of the village of Ruddington. My Care and Ruddington Retirement Village were proud to be the Community Group category sponsor and were there to see the awards being presented.
The winners were the Ruddington Yarn Ninjas. In addition to making knitted blankets for premature babies and for end-of-life care, judges noted the many respondents highlighting that “This group brings JOY!!”, lifting the spirits of both the knitters and everyone who sees their work around the village.
Emma Scott from Ruddington’s Yarn Ninjas, said: “On behalf of all of our hardworking, talented yarn ninjas, we are thrilled to receive such fantastic recognition with this award. We couldn’t have imagined when we started just over a year ago, that the wonderful Ruddington community would enjoy our displays so much. A big thank you from us all.”
Big congratulations must also go to the Runner’s Up, the Ruddington Community Choir, and the highly commended Ruddington Pantry.
Finally a huge thank you to everyone who organised a fantastic evening that showed why Ruddington is such a great place to work and live.
