Gemma Leaves

[Paul Scott-Bates]

Very sad news reached us recently that Gemma Rooke, Community Engagement & Grant Officer, is to leave her post at Rossendale Borough Council.

Gemma has been a great supporter of our cause and has given us superb advice and guidance over many of our projects.

She played a big part in the Whitaker Park plot, and, has also helped us in having a presence at the gardens to be built on the former Valley Centre in Rawtenstall.  She has been active with us since the very first Public Meeting back in 2009.

On behalf of everyone at IER, I would like to wish Gemma every success in her future and give her an HUGE thank you on behalf of all of our members.

We think she's INCREDIBLE!
