Axminster Care Service is saying farewell to one of its longest-serving members.
Ann Kilford, who joined the charity group as a volunteer 10 years ago, is moving to Ireland to be near her daughter and grandchildren.
For the past three years Mrs Kilford has been manager of the Care Service's shop - Charity Togs - in South Street.
Today (Saturday, August 17) fellow volunteers will gather at the town's senior citizens' centre for a farewell cream tea.
A spokeswoman for the organisation said: "Ann has been a popular manager for some years and will be difficult to replace.

"Volunteers are always welcomed by the Care Service for a variety of services provided and at this time drivers to take people to medical appointments would be very much valued."
