Teachers at The Brookfield School receive books from Old Market via the Hereford Rotary Club earlier in the pandemic GROUPS and charities providing support through post-Covid recovery have the chance to apply for a grant. The City of Hereford Rotary Club, in conjunction with Herefordshire Voluntary Organisations Support Service (hvoss), is to launch a Rotary Covid-19 Recovery Grant Scheme. They will be awarding 10 grants of £250 and five of £500 to local groups and charities who will be providing support as the country comes out of lockdown. During the pandemic, the City of Hereford Rotary Club supported local families by delivering more than 3,000 food parcels and giving financial assistance to local groups and charities who were able to continue working throughout the lockdowns.
INTREPID fundraiser Alan Blake is battling on through the bad winter weather in his bid to raise £100,000 for his chosen charities. The 89-year-old made an appearance on regional television last week with a short feature on his efforts on the BBC news magazine Midlands Today helping to lift his total beyond £10,750. Alan has been able to look down on the flooded River Wye as he continues his marathon trek which has now passed 18,000 steps. He is climbing the 120 steep and circular steps around his riverside garden on a daily basis and aims to continue his challenge until October when he will have passed his 90th birthday.
Jim Jenkyn, who lives in Marden, held the post from 1978 until his retirement in 1981. He is also believed to be the first member of the City of Hereford Rotary Club to reach his century landmark. He is now an honorary member of the club. Mr Jenkyn was born in West Cornwall, just after the end of the Spanish flu pandemic and grew up on a small farm. He began his working life in 1937 as a telephonist and postal officer at Penzance post office before moving on to the Great Western travelling post office from Penzance to Plymouth. He survived a couple of hair-raising and potentially fatal incidents during those early years of World War Two, once being thrown against the curtain covering the open door by the movement of the train and on another occasion being marooned on the Brunel Bridge in Plymouth when the train came to a standstill.
