Η DOVER GREETERS ΓΙΝΕΤΑΙ ΕΤΑΙΡΙΑ ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΚΟΥ ΣΥΜΦΕΡΟΝΤΟΣ

Σε 2012 Το Δημοτικό Συμβούλιο του Ντόβερ ξεκίνησε μια υπηρεσία χαιρετισμού που διοργανώθηκε από εθελοντές για να συναντηθούν, χαιρετήστε και συμβουλέψτε τους τουρίστες που επισκέπτονται την πόλη κατά τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες, για να απαντήσει σε οποιεσδήποτε ερωτήσεις και γενικά να δώσει μια φιλόξενη αίσθηση στην πόλη. Από τότε, οι Dover Greeters έχουν πάει από δύναμη σε δύναμη, becoming an integral part of life in Dover. Their friendly smiles and familiar blue uniforms have become as much a part of the town as the historic buildings and sites they help to showcase. This month Dover Greeters signed a Service Level Agreement with Dover Town Council and have now become Dover Heritage CIC, enabling them to become a standalone entity. Denise Smith, a charter member of the original Greeters, and now a director of the new company said, “Dover Greeters would like to say a huge thank you to Dover Town Council for setting up and supporting us over the last 3 χρόνια. We look forward to a continuing and happy partnership now we are paddling our own canoe. As volunteers, we work very hard for Dover, meeting and greeting visitors and helping them to enjoy and appreciate our wonderful town

This was echoed by Councillor Sue Jones who said, “I am delighted to hand the management of Dover Greeters to Dover Heritage CIC. I always hoped this would be a community run venture and the Greeters have done such an excellent job to date helping people to get to know and love Dover.”
