A community group has celebrated 10 years of bringing people together.
Connect For Life, based in Oswestry, marked the milestone with a special event at Hope Church on October 3.
The 'Illuminating Moments' celebration was funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and featured a programme of singing, dancing, poetry, and drama.
Guests included group members, families, and volunteers.
The celebration included performances by Emma Peace, Alison Stevens, The Meadows Primary School, and a performance of the Queen and Paddington by LADS, which brought plenty of smiles and laughter.
Dignitaries in attendance included Gill Hamer, the Deputy Lieutenant of Shropshire, and the Mayor and the Mayoress of Oswestry, Councillors Jonathan Upton and Ruth Simmonds.
Volunteers played a key role in organising the event and ensuring guests felt welcome.
A spokesperson said: "The afternoon brought together people who attend the group, families, volunteers and guests to mark a decade of company, support and warm welcomes.
