She was a governor of the local primary school for around 40 years of which 25 were spent as "chairperson". It was through this devoted voluntary work that Val was awarded a British Empire Medal in 2012. An award she was embarrassed to receive as she was only "helping out" !

In earlier years Val was also girl guide leader, member of the local church and the local pantomime society. All this whilst running small local window manufacturing businesses.
