STAFF from Worcestershire Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre are due to have tea with the Queen at Buckingham Palace tomorrow.

Jocelyn Anderson, manager of the city-centre-based charity, and her two staff have been invited to attend the garden party after being nominated - but they don't know who has nominated them.

She said: "We are so excited to be attending this event and it is good that the centre receives the recognition for the works that we do."

The trio will travel in style.

A Redditch-based firm has allowed them the use of one of its limousines.

Last March, the Worcester News revealed that the centre was saved from closure after thousands of pounds of donations from social services, Worcestershire's Primary Care Trusts, and the north and south Worcestershire police divisions were made.
