Hide AdEstablished in 1962, the society is an independent charity, not affiliated to any other groups and is a lifeline for many who are collected and taken home after the meeting by volunteers.


Secretary Mark Procter said: "Many of our members have not left their homes in the past 18 months so it is fantastic that we are now able to get things back to normal."
Anyone who would like more information about the group is asked to contact Mark on 07902192066.
