The Halfway House, midway up the Wrekin in Telford, has been a favourite resting place for generations of walkers visiting one of Shropshire's most famous landmarks.

Some months ago charity Yellow Ribbon put together a bid to purchase the Halfway House outright, thanks to Government funding.

Following the successful acquisition, the Halfway House has been showcasing the Wrekin’s role in promoting wellness within the community as part of the ‘Wrekin Wellness Summit’ launched as a partnership with Telford & Wrekin Council and NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.

Yellow Ribbon are promoting the ‘Do It For’ campaign encouraging Wrekin attendees to make a Healthy Telford pledge whereby they set personal health goals and take actionable steps towards achieving them.
