CAROL Hoskins has finally hung up her hangers and has made the decision to retire from Age Cymru.

After working in Ruby Tuesday for a number of years, she made the move to work as under manager to Barbara Stocker in the Cancer Research shop. After five years of working there, she was offered her own store with what was Age Concern, located in the Oldway centre. After working there for 12 years, she felt the time was right to step down.

She would like to thank all assistant managers, volunteers and customers that have made the last twelve years full of fun, laughter and a few tears along the way. “I want to say a big thank you for all the cards and gifts and a special thank you to Judith who painted a very impressive picture of a beautiful orange tree,” she added, wishing everybody a very happy, healthy 2017.
