Knighton’s soup dragon wins Civic Award
Knighton’s Soup Dragon wins the annual Civic Award
Wendy Emerson has been awarded Knighton Town Council’s Civic Award for 2024, for her outstanding voluntary contributions to the community of Knighton.
Wendy has been given the name of “Soup Dragon” by her friends, volunteers and staff at Knighton Community Centre where she has worked tirelessly in the Centre’s Kitchen for the Tuesday Drop-Ins and the Thursday Soup Drop-Ins, cooking for isolated and vulnerable people in the community.
Her soups have been delivered all around Knighton and outer areas before and after the pandemic.
Wendy’s award was accepted by her long term partner Paul at a Knighton Town Council meeting recently.
Sadly Wendy passed away at St Michaels Hospice, Hereford on December 3.
Knighton Town Council’s thoughts are with Paul and the family at this time.
