Welshampton coffee morning yesterday raised an amazing £550 for Alzheimer’s Research UK. The Methodists and supporters of Welshampton thank those who attended and contributed, and the members of the Shropshire Fund-raising group are extremely grateful to the Welshampton volunteers who give their time to put on these coffee mornings and take nothing for expenses.
