Pen and Den have retired from their many years of fundraising in the community of Hampton Magna.
They started their cookery demonstrations in 1986, raising thousands of pounds for the community centre.
Denny also ran the ‘bus pass’ lunch club for local residents for many years, and also served on the parish council. Denny also helped with the local Cubs and cooked for local commemorative occasions.

Penny supports the afternoon teas held locally, and the dementia cafe, and continues to be chairperson for the RVS over 60’s club.
A spokesperson on behalf of the Hampton Magna community said: “Both ladies have tirelessly, and freely, given their time to their community and will hopefully now enjoy some well deserved rest, being served tea, cakes and other goodies, instead of being the ones who provide them.”
