DUE TO THE DECLARATION OF A PUBLIC HOLIDAY TODAY IN HONOUR OF THE FUNERAL OF HRH QUEEN ELIZABETH II TODAY'S MEETING HAS BEEB CANCELLED.  WE HOPE TO REARRANGE IT IN THE FUTURE.

Today's speaker is Molly Bailey, Oswestry Life Magazine's Inspirational Young Person Local Hero 2022 - as sponsored by Oswestry Rotary Club.

Molly will be accompanied by her mother Gemma who nominated her and by her Police Cadet Leader (fingers crossed).

This is what Gemma said in her nomination.

"Molly has a lot of chronic pain conditions along side other conditions, hospital visits since she was 2yrs old (now 17), also been a carer on and off for me (mom) since she was 5yrs old.

"Despite her health, no family local for support etc her determination to live life to the full amazes so many.

"She has been awarded student of the year at Oswestry College in Uniformed public services.

"She is working so hard, achieving the highest grades, through pain, sleepless nights every night. She is also a West Mercia Police cadet since 2019.

"She is an inspiration to many in so many ways through ill health, determination, pushing through it all.

"She is determined to have a career in West Mercia Police and start her Degree in professional policing next year.

"Being tiny, being in pain which gets her down very often, her wanting to help make a difference by protecting the community around her and help others despite her own troubles... I take my hat off to her.

"She Picks herself up and puts her all in to her future."
