Bouquet for Homecall's Jenny

Jenny, who is the Scheme Manager and voice of the charity, will be retiring next Spring.

She was presented with a bouquet and cut glass vase by Homecall's Patron Amanda Hamblin in recognition of her dedicated work for Homecall during the last ten years.

Also honoured at the meeting were the Long Service Volunteers who received awards for reaching their milestones of five, ten and 15 years service, supporting the Blind and Partially Sighted people of Bexhill and surrounding area.

This was Homecall's 25th AGM and was a well attended meeting with reports from the Chairman, Treasurer and Jenny herself all well received.

Homecall's fundraising event, hosted by The Indian Ocean Restaurant in Little Common on Tuesday September 28 was a "great success".

Manager Shamim Ahmed ran a Special Event Day for Homecall and generously gave all profit from the event to the charity.

Jenny commented: "Homecall is very grateful to Sham and all the staff at the restaurant who looked after us so well and, of course, to everybody who came and supported this event.

"The meal was delicious and a magnificent 600 was raised for Homecall. Sham has been in business in Bexhill for some seven years now and came to Little Common in December last year.

He has worked hard to build up his good reputation locally and he is keen to support good causes in our area. It is the first time we have had a fundraiser like this and Sham has already told us he will be doing it again next year when we hope to build on the success of this year."
