Woodlands Quaker Home celebrates 80 years of caring
Woodlands Quaker Home, a care home for older people, has been operating since 1945. The Grade II listed property at 434 Penn Road, Wolverhampton, was built in 1897 and was originally the family home of Neville Hanbury Mander. When the Second World War ended the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) purchased the property and established it as a care home for older people.
A garden party was held on Saturday, 9 August from 11am - 5:30pm to celebrate the milestone of 80 years. The event was attended by residents of the home, the local community, relatives and staff past and present. Entertainment and refreshments were provided throughout the day and towards the end of the event a magnificent 80th anniversary cake was officially cut by Warinder Juss, the MP for Wolverhampton West.
