SHE'S been doing her bit to help people in need for years and now Kathy Zoldan from Mapplewell has been rewarded by being named Salvation Army Trading's regional volunteer of the year.

Kathy, a volunteer at the Salvation Army charity shop in Fountain Parade, was nominated because of her dedication and commitment as well as the way she mentors and nurtures other volunteers to help boost confidence and improve their skills.

Kathy began volunteering shortly after the shop opened in 2012.
