HOME-START are celebrating their 35th anniversary of being in Herefordshire this year, giving support and friendship to fragile and vulnerable families in the county.

As a thank you to all who have volunteered and worked within the scheme since 1982 they held a garden party to say thank you.

The party was held in Elizabeth and Ray Hunters beautiful grounds near Ledbury.

Elizabeth used to be a trustee with the charity and also recently was the high sheriff of Herefordshire.

The party was attended by past and current volunteers who without their dedication to help others, the service would not be the success it still is today.
