Died peacefully on 26th June at Horsfall House, Minchinhampton, aged 83 years. A much loved Aunt, who will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all who knew her. Although restrictions are easing, due to social distancing at Gloucester Crematorium the funeral will be held on Monday 12th July by family invitation, to be followed by an open celebration of Val’s life closer to her home, to be arranged later this Summer. Flowers, or charitable donations, may be sent for (and made payable to) Cheltenham & Gloucester Hospitals Charity (these donations are specifically for the FOCUS Fund within the Oncology Unit at Cheltenham General Hospital)

Cllr Andrew’s two years as mayor encompassed unprecedented circumstances and many challenges. Regrettably, due to Covid, he was not able to host any fund raising activities for his chosen charities. Therefore, he decided to donate funds from his mayor’s allowance. Along with partner Jane Lloyd, he presented a cheque for £260 to Wales Air Ambulance at Mid Wales Airport last week, and a cheque of the same value has been sent to Cancer Research UK. Jane said: “While it’s not as much as we would have liked, as unfortunately we were not able to hold any fundraising events, we were pleased to be able to donate some funds to the two charities and support their vital work in some way in a tough time for charities.”
Back in May we helped launch Britain’s Next Top Dog – a new competition looking for the country’s most photogenic canines with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.
The entries poured in and more than £30,000 was raised as a panel of dog-loving celebrities including Clare Balding, Graham Norton, Stephen Fry, Nigel Havers and Gabby Logan chose six category winners, before the public voted for Britain’s ultimate Next Top Dog.
It’s been a triumph for its instigator Fee Sharples, a retired nurse from Norfolk who was diagnosed with cancer in 2014.
‘Every day something wonderful has happened,’ she says. ‘It’s buoyed me up so much, as well as raising money to fight cancer and celebrating our love of dogs.’
