Upper Brighton Road
A former headteacher volunteers her time by running a music club at Surbiton’s Royal Star and Garter home for ex-service members – and even helps residents take communion.
Mary Taylor, who lives just a 10-minute walk from the home, joined the charity shortly before its move from Richmond, hoping to help residents adjust during the transition. She took over the music group from veteran volunteer Pat Maynard.
The group receives visits from performers which have included the Met Police choir, Kingston Choral Society and solo artists.
Her husband, Gerry, a former RAF pilot and news reporter for the Times, also volunteers at the Surbiton home’s bar.
