Dot Hagon

Treasurer

I have been fortunate to call Charlton Village my home for many years, and I am very proud to be part of the CVRA committee. I take my role as treasurer very seriously and enjoy playing my part in supporting our wonderful village community. I am actively involved with St Mary Magdalene Church and love spending time walking my greyhounds around the village. As part of our fantastic gardening volunteer team, I enjoy tending to the flower beds and planters, helping to make our village a colourful, welcoming and cared for place.
