A woman who has been supporting Manorlands since 1976 has been rewarded for her dedication.

Gwenda Marsden, of Haworth, was presented with the Vestey Award at the Manorlands annual meeting.

The accolade recognises outstanding contributions by Manorlands volunteers.

Eight other volunteers were nominated for the award. They were Isabelle Hudman, Brenda Kendall, husband and wife team John and Joyce Brigg, Vi Dunn, Margaret Hanson, Jo Hey and Audrey Toothill.

Mrs Marsden's three decades of service have included managing day trips for residents, serving refreshments and helping to manage the Manorlands charity shop in Haworth.

She was among the very first volunteers to join the Oxenhope hospice, shortly after it was set up.
