Ringwood and District
Old People's Welfare Association
Ringwood and District Old People’s Welfare Association was founded in 1960 by Dr Mary Mitchell. It is an umbrella organisation set up to offer help and information to elderly residents in Ringwood and its immediately adjacent parishes. These include Burley, Ellingham, St Leonards & St Ives - effectively covering anyone living in the BH24 post code area. All the organisations mentioned are staffed mainly (sometimes totally) by volunteers.
