Councillor Weaving said, “During my year as Mayor of Ripley, I am proud to support two organisations that make a real difference to the lives of people in our community. They are the Ripley Hospital League of Friends and the Amber Valley Stroke Group. Both charities provide invaluable care, support, and friendship to local residents and their families, and I look forward to raising as much awareness and funding for them as possible throughout the year. I hope the people of Ripley and the wider township will join me in supporting these worthy causes.”
