Freda Greenwold retires... And? She is 98 years old

At the age of 98, Freda Greenwold can be forgiven for taking things a little easier.

After 20 years, the great grandmother has retired as a volunteer at Nightingale, the care home for older Jewish people.

Mrs Greenwold, who started out helping to serve lunch before working in the shop, tells People: "You only volunteer if you want to and I have always wanted to but it is a bit much for me now. I will still come to Nightingale to see everybody though. I haven't cut myself off completely."

Mrs Greenwold, who lives in Streatham, south London, attends the Nightingale South London Day Centre once a week. She has lived independently since her husband, Maurice, died 28 years ago.
