An Oxfordshire charity has celebrated its 75th anniversary with a carol service attended by His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire and the High Sheriff of Oxfordshire.

Marjorie Glasgow BEM and Sally Scott both attended the service for The Mulberry Bush charity, which was held at St Barnabas Church.

It celebrated the Oxfordshire-based charity's crucial work in educating and caring for primary school-aged children who have encountered significant trauma, neglect, or abuse.
