A centenarian from Rugby has used her milestone birthday to help raise awareness of the community centre she attends to help combat loneliness. Tomasina Crowe has been going to the Hoskyn Centre every Monday since the death of her husband more than 16 years ago. The charity's aim is to tackle loneliness in the community and provides a hot lunch to its members as well as putting on activities such as bingo and raffles.
