Madeley born and bred, Karen’s Grandad was an Anstice Committee member in the 1960s and she was allowed to visit the Anstice twice as a child. Firstly, when her Mum took her to Lloyd’s Bank in her pushchair and secondly, as a member of the Abdab band in the 70s. These days Karen lives off the High Street with her husband and family. She was a founder ACT Trustee and Treasurer, and has now been appointed as Finance Manager. Karen is fiercely proud of Madeley and that The Anstice has been saved by the local community. Previous to The Anstice re-opening, for the last five years, Karen could often be found at weekend events across Telford and beyond, raising funds for The Anstice with Rita.
