Led by President of the League of Friends Shipston, Mrs Frances French,
New Chair for 2019, Professor Bryan Stoten, and Vice Chair, Mrs Fay Kernohan, the League continue to devote their time
to support many medical services and patient groups. This can only be possible with the support of the Trustees and volunteers throughout the surrounding villages. |

Decades of helping residents retain their local services, ensuring best possible facilities. This was an example of a march organised by the League - Shipston, in protest of the closure of the Ellen Badger Day Unit. Suffice to say the Day Unit is still thriving today!! |

| Frances French, President of the League of Friends Shipston, commented, “The League are delighted that SWFT have acquired this land and we are very grateful to both John Peart and Percy Lomas, whose legacies have made this possible. We know the development is in line with the NHS goal of treating people close to their communities as possible. It will enhance health and wellbeing for all those in Shipston and the 22 surrounding villages.” |
