MUMS and toddlers threw a party for a Malvern health visitor who is moving on.

About 30 visitors to St Mary's Hall, Langlands presented Margaret Gorman with a cake and gifts on Friday.

Ms Gorman helped set up the mothers and toddlers group six years ago but is leaving to take up a new post in Worcester.

When she first arrived in Malvern there was just a clinic operating in St Mary's Hall. Since then, she has helped expand the service, which now offers coffee for mums and play activities for kids.

Ms Gorman said the party was a total surprise but she had a wonderful time.

"It was lovely," she said. "I'm going to miss them terribly."
