Many of you will know Anne Baker, who has been a key part of the wonderful volunteer team at St. George's Hall since the major refurbishment in 2013.

To celebrate her 80th year Anne is taking on Europe's longest zip-wire challenge at Penrhyn Quarry in Snowdonia on 10th July.

She is doing so to raise funds for St. George's Hall, ( a registered charity), and you can help her reach her £1,200 target by sponsoring her through this Kindlink donation page.

🎉🎉A huge thank you post to everyone who gets involved with Bewdley Carnival! Whether trade, donations or even entering the parade 🎉🎉

🍄 Wyre Community Land Trust was one of our selected local causes last year.

Today, I visited their open day and saw the work that they do and it is incredible!

The £500 they received from the carnival went towards their education room where they do crafts, workshops and have schools & groups visit.

Check out the list of exciting workshops and craft sessions coming up and further help their conservation work!

If you would like to get involved with volunteering at the Wyre Community Land Trust, visit their page or website for more information.
