Methodist Homestead Almshouses Charity are delighted to announce the celebration of 35 years of service for Warden Jenny Heginbothom (along with her husband Geoff, who has been their handyman/gardener for 20 years). Jenny and Geoff are retiring from Methodist Homestead Almshouses Charity this year.
Alistair Cochran, secretary and clerk to the trustees comments,
“Jenny and Geoff have given wonderful service over 35 years and have overseen so many changes in our homes. Over the years they have served countless cups of tea and coffee and more recently provided a monthly Sunday lunch for our residents. During the pandemic, they have encouraged outdoor socially distanced activities including a VE Day party and a MacMillan Coffee Morning. Geoff’s contribution to keeping lawns mowed, hedges trimmed and doing many small maintenance jobs around the site (not least shovelling snow and putting salt down to keep the pathways safe) has been invaluable to us. Our current Chairman commented that they leave big shoes to fill and we will all miss them but wish them well for the next chapter in their lives.”
Thank you, Alistair, for sharing this with us and many congratulations to Jenny and Geoff on their well-deserved retirement!
