The Independent on Sunday Happy List

Another accolade for the mill volunteers.  Last Sunday the Independent on Sunday published its "Happy List" of 100 people "whose volunteering, caring, fundraising, mentoring, charity founding or selflessness makes Britain a more contented, supportive, better-adjusted and happier place."   And the Acorn Bank Watermill volunteers were first (alphabetically) in the list!
