Jeanette and Caroline from our Shotton branch were over the moon to be invited to the AGM & Presentation Evening for TS Tuscan Connah's Quay Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets.

It was lovely to watch the cadets receive their awards and hear all about everything they have been up to over the past year. The opportunities they provide for young people within the community are truly amazing, and it was inspiring to see the dedication and achievements of all the cadets.

Thank you so much for inviting us — we are looking forward to helping out and supporting this fantastic organisation. They are always grateful for any extra help, so if anyone has a few spare hours and would like to get involved in building and supporting this amazing facility, I’m sure your support would be greatly appreciated.

Our funeral service specialist, Jeanette and Caroline from our Shotton branch, had a lovely time this afternoon volunteering at Rivertown Church "Food with Friends "
They really enjoyed meeting local people, who came along to enjoy a warm and welcoming atmosphere, good company and a delicious two-course meal.
They would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a little companionship and are already looking forward to spending time there again next month.
It's always a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful community initiative.
