Thanks to our partners, @temasek, we have the chance to give 10 older neighbours the experience of a lifetime ✨. Margaret loved the glitzy afternoon tea on the @northernbelletr 🚂 ! Dressed in her finery and looking very glam, she had a fantastic day with befriender Dianne.

Yesterday @_bfriend had the amazing honour of receiving the @QueensAwardVS presented by @LieutenancySY, who met our older neighbours at #Thurnscoe Social Club and even won the quiz! This award is for all of our fantastic volunteers - Thank you, we couldn't do this without you💙.
