Janet and I occasionally volunteer to help Age Concern and today we were invited to a birthday party to celebrate twenty years of Age Concern in Stone. A buffet lunch in Bromfield Court was the occasion for dozens of supporters old and new to meet up and celebrate the event.
Sadly, there is a great deal of doubt hanging over the organisation at the moment bearing in mind that Age Concern nationally has now merged with another charity to form Age UK. Stone's Age Concern is trying to resolve where it stands in the new set up bearing in mind that there seems to be a hint that any new group would operate out of Stafford. I'm glad I'm not involved in trying to sort out that conundrum!
On a happier note, we were also able to celebrate another birthday! Jenny Losch, the Administrator became a grandmother this morning to twins, a boy and a girl. Congratulations Grandma!
