Celebrating in Much Wenlock

Last week Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin staff and volunteers celebrated 30 years since our Much Wenlock day centre first opened its doors.

Day centre members, volunteers and staff marked the occasion with an afternoon tea and a presentation to one of the centre’s long serving volunteers, Barbara Corfield. In her role as day centre organiser, Barbara has been involved from the very first day it opened, following in the footsteps of her mother, who helped set up the day centre for Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin.

Located at Priory Hall in Much Wenlock, it is just one of 39 day centres operating across Shropshire and Telford, providing vital support for older people in our communities.

Heather Osborne, Chief Executive of Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin, said: ‘We are delighted to be celebrating the 30th birthday of Much Wenlock day centre and want to thank Barbara for her support and tremendous commitment over the years. Our volunteers play an extremely important role helping us deliver services to local older people and we are so grateful to volunteers like Barbara who show such dedication.’
