Friends Together

Our friends at Age UK, our national partner, received some goodies from some of national supermarkets. This week, Stella and Michael delivered goodies to our Friends Together members, to say hello and remind them we are thinking of them. Many thanks to Age UK, Stella and Michael.

We, along with the nation, will be celebrating VE Day at a respectful social distance. We remember those who gave their lives and achieved 75 years of peace in Europe.
