Last week saw a very special day out for Rosemary Wood and Rita Rogers of the Ludlow Cancer Support Group as they went to His Majesty’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.
Last month, HRH Princess Anne presented Ludlow Cancer Support Group with The King’s Award for Voluntary Service.
This is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE.
The presentation took place at the Riding for the Disabled-affiliated Cavalier Centre in Much Wenlock, and the Princess was accompanied by Anna Turner, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire.
Last Wednesday, Rosemary Wood, chairman, and Rita Rogers, committee member, represented LCSG at His Majesty’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, the first of the season, attended by The King, Queen Camilla and other senior royals.
Membership of the Ludlow Cancer Support Group is free to people who have been diagnosed with cancer, regardless of how long ago the diagnosis was made. Carers, relatives and friends of people with cancer are also very welcome. For further details, visit ludlowcancersupport.org.
