The group isn’t just about fostering a love of art and bringing people closer together either. For the past six years Barry has coordinated members (who now number upwards of 25) to deliver food and drink hampers to the elderly and vulnerable in the Marsh Green, Kitt Green, Pemberton, Norley and Worsley Hall areas. Coun Draper said: “Barry is disabled but that hasn’t stopped him doing all this. He is a gentleman, a family man, a grafter and a real legend.”
