Tributes have been paid to a “remarkable” charity founder who helped the lives of hundreds of people throughout Norfolk.
Janet Money, of Scarning, the founder of Dereham Cancer Care, has died at the age of 73 after being diagnosed with the disease again last year.
One of her four brothers, Philip Mathews, 10 years her junior, said: “I’m immensely proud of the way she threw herself into Dereham Cancer Care. It gave her life a purpose after too many family tragedies.
“I am not sure if she ever liked being overtly thanked for what she did. A polite acknowledgement would suffice and the thought that she had helped someone else improve their lives.”

He said: “We are very concerned about the Highlands Park development and the amount of traffic it will generate and push through the village.

I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that the sudden death of councillor and former mayor Anne Court has come as a great shock and brings immense sadness. A funeral was held for Cllr Court, who served the ward of Kempshott, at St Nicholas Church in Newnham on Wednesday.
Jenny Bailey-Beech is giving some of her Okami Makes card making profits to charities and her most recent chosen charity was Water Aid. The nine year old has been able to donate £100 to the charity which works across the world to transform lives by improving access to clean water, toilets and hygiene. Jenny said: “I chose to support Water Aid because we twinned a tap in Montgomery Children’s Church to help people who live in poor countries and protect them from COVID-19. “I thought this was a really good practical thing to help, so I decided I’d like to raise more funds for them.”
