Age UK Shropshire Telford and Wrekin is selling the ‘Shropshire Scenes’ calendar, to raise money to support older people in Shropshire.

The calendar is made up of photographs of the county reflecting the different seasons.

From a wintry scene of Caer Caradoc in the south of the county, to Ellesmere in the spring with daffodils by the mere, and summer in Bridgnorth, the calendar features some of Shropshire's most attractive spots.

The photographs have been donated to Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin by local photographers and Shropshire Tourism.

Heather Osborne, chief executive of Age UK STW, said the funds raised from the calendar could help to make a big difference towards its work.

She also offered her thanks to the people who have provided images for the calendar.

She said: “We would like to thank all the local photographers who donated their pictures for our 2018 calendar. The calendars along with our Christmas cards generate much needed funds to help support older people across Shropshire."

The charity calendar, which costs £6, and Christmas cards are on sale at the Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin offices in Shrewsbury and Telford and at the charity furniture shops in Shrewsbury, Wellington and Oswestry.

Alternatively people can order them from www.ageukshropshireandtelford.org.uk or call 01743 233123.
