Marsden group closes

Our Marsden Group meet for the final time

On 22nd June 2023 our Marsden group held their final meeting, as lead volunteers Liz and Cynthia finally achieved their long-held desire to step down.

Sisters Liz and Cynthia have led the Marsden group single-handedly for around 15 years, keeping in touch with their members throughout the Covid lockdown as well as during individual illnesses, despite themselves having tough times on occasion, and having expressed their desire to step down from leading the group over 5 years ago! They have proved themselves to be truly dedicated to their group, but we are so glad they put their foot (feet?!) down finally to close this chapter of their lives and move on to the next.

Charity Trustees Val, Damian and David accompanied Meltham’s Lead Volunteer and friend Jenny to interrupt the Marsden group’s final session with a presentation of flowers and restaurant vouchers for Liz and Cynthia.

While the Marsden group has now disbanded, Val and Jenny took time to explain to the members about our other groups in Meltham, Holmfirth and Honley. This seemed to be well received by several of the ladies, who do seem already very well-served by other social groups and events in Marsden. We wish all our Marsden members well for their future beyond Friend to Friend, and lots of love and our wholehearted thanks go to Liz and Cynthia for all their time and care given so generously over all those years.
