WYRE Forest Dial-A-Ride have honoured their oldest member with free membership and travel.
Margaret Brown, of Kidderminster, celebrated her 100th birthday in May with her family, who had travelled from Australia and other parts of the world, complete with a birthday card from the Queen.
Mrs Brown joined Wyre Forest Dial-A-Ride more than 12 years ago and continues to travel twice a week to do her shopping and to attend the Ladies Bright Hour at Trinity Methodist Church where, after 80 years of practice, she regularly plays the piano.
Still living independently, Mrs Brown depends on the Dial-A-Ride service to go shopping.
She said: “I couldn’t do without Dial-A-Ride.
“Door to door, what more could anyone want?”
To celebrate her 100th birthday, Dial-A-Ride have given Mrs Brown free membership and travel from now on.
Nigel Caldicott, Dial-A-Ride co-ordinator, said: “Mrs Brown is an inspiration to everyone involved with our charity and an active supporter of all that we do to help local people enjoy a better quality of life.
“Mrs Brown represents what Dial-A-Ride is all about.”
