The COVID-19 Emergency: Rotary doing its bit!

Like many other clubs and societies Kelvedon & District Rotary Club has had to suspend regular meetings, but to keep members in touch with one another and in an endeavor to continue its charitable and community work the Rotary club has been holding “virtual meetings” using the medium of Zoom technology. 

At its “virtual meeting” on 28 April participants were joined by Braintree District Councillors Jenny Sandum and Paul Thorogood who gave a presentation on their work with the Kelvedon & Feering COVID Support Group. This group of volunteers are assisting self-isolating members of the community and other housebound residents who require assistance with food purchases, shopping and prescription collections. 

In response, the club agreed to provide an initial sum of £200 to the Kelvedon & Feering COVID Support Group with similar cash sums going to the Braintree & Colchester Food Banks and to Tolleshunt Knights & Tiptree P.C.O. St Luke’s Church under the auspices of the Rev. Anne-Marie Renshaw. 

Another example of Rotary in action.
