Shrewsbury Town in the Community are proud to announce the addition of two new Friends of the Community.

As a charity, Shrewsbury Town in the Community rely on donations to fund many of the projects and programmes that are run. By joining a local network of businesses, Shrewsbury Town in the Community have developed the easiest and most effective way to support the work within the local community.

They welcome Longmynd Travel. The travel company was founded in 1973 with 1 bus, but today they now run a fleet of 21 coaches. The company have provided coaches for Shrewsbury Town Football Club for over 5 years.

Owners Val and Mark Sheppard-Evans are big Shrewsbury Town fans and attend most home games.

After attending the Shrewsbury Town in the Community gala dinner in December 2017, Val said “I saw the fantastic job the community team do. I decided I wanted to become a friend of the community.”

They have also welcomed Base Architecture & Design. The Architectural practice is a multi-award winning architectural practice based in the heart of Shrewsbury and working across Shropshire, Cheshire, the North West and further afield.

The team at Base work from concept to completion on everything from residential new builds and conversions, including one off scheme and master planning, to extensions and the remodelling of homes. Specialists in the commercial sector, developing innovative designs for clients in the manufacturing, healthcare and retail sectors – you’ll probably have seen their work without even realising it!

As a local company, Base Architecture & Design is proud to be a Friend of Shrewsbury Town in the Community Director Harry Reece said;

“As a local business we want to support the local community in anyway we can, being a friend of Shrewsbury Town in the Community offers us an opportunity to do just that.

“We like the variety of work that Shrewsbury Town in the Community are involved in and the impact they have such as their traineeships and football activities to their new Kick Cancer programme in partnership with Lingen Davies Cancer Fund.”
