SPECIAL NEEDS SUPPORT:
Clophill Friends of the Bedfordshire Leonard Cheshire Home – Our group was founded in 1976 and has two principal functions. The first is to escort a group of wheelchair-bound Residents of our local Home in Woburn Street, Ampthill to Bedford so that they may carry out their personal shopping. We make this trip on alternate Wednesday mornings. Our second purpose is to raise funds, which directly benefit the local Residents. To this end we hold 2 Jumble Sales in the village each year. To find out more about our activities contact Sue Pearson on 01525 861110.
