Jane Winsley of Chilcompton was honoured to receive a Paul Harris Fellowship Award at the recent Christmas lunch of Rotary Midsomer Norton and Radstock.

Jane received the award from past District Governor, David Penny, for her work raising funds for Dorothy House Hospice Care over the past 35 years.

In 1983, Jane joined with three other ladies who had lost a child to raise charity funds. Jane has been a leading driving force behind an annual sale of bric-a-brac and goods at Chilcompton, which has raised £50,000 over the years.

The Paul Harris Fellowship award is a prestigious recognition given by Rotary to an individual for their outstanding service within their community.
