Shrewsbury charity to call it a day after 20 years of support
A charity which has provided support and friendship to thousands of people in Shrewsbury is “calling it a day” after 21 years.
North Shrewsbury Friendly Neighbours is closing its doors at the end of March due to a lack of funding, and its chairman has praised staff and volunteers for their dedication to the local community.
Chairperson of the charity and local councillor, Alan Mosley, said North Shrewsbury Friendly Neighbours had supported around 10,000 people over the past two decades.
“We are immensely proud of the work the charity has done to support people who have needed some company or help with daily tasks like shopping or applying for benefits,” he said.
“I would like to thank all of the volunteers who have dedicated their time to such a worthwhile cause, and our team of staff who have worked tirelessly to keep the charity going since it was formed in 2002.
