After taking retirement from Rolls Royce in 1990, Betty wanted to stay active and make a contribution to society so joined the volunteering team at Coventry's former Walsgrave Hospital on the welcome desk. When the old hospital was replaced in 2006 by the new University Hospital, Betty stayed and has no plans to stop.
