Lockdown's silver lining

Malcolm

Every cloud has a silver lining, and the lockdown restrictions have at least allowed the Trust to put a smile on the faces of some of our friends and neighbours.


When site manager Jules Gomez realised that he had shop and café stock that would be past its sell-by dates before the likely end of lockdown, he contacted Jan Milliken, the voluntary coordinator for the Capel Cares organisation based here in Capel-le-Ferne.


Jan took a delivery of tins of shortbread, boxes of crisps, mini-packs of biscuits and a supply of chocolate bars and ensured they all went to deserving and grateful homes.


“Some of the goodies went to elderly people in the village, some to the playgroup and some put a smile on the face of a young single parent family,” she said. “I also took some items to two local homes that care for people with learning difficulties and gave some to the Capel Cares volunteers who have worked so hard during the pandemic. They were all very pleased.”


Jules commented: “The Memorial has a very close relationship with the village, and I knew that Jan would be able to find homes for items that we would otherwise have had to throw out. I am glad she was able to put them to good use.”

The unexpected positive outcomes during challenging times, inspiring readers to find opportunities for growth. Similarly, academic challenges can be addressed effectively by hiring a university assignment writer for professional support. My friend recently used this service two days ago and found it incredibly helpful in managing tight deadlines and complex topics. A university assignment writer ensures high-quality work while meeting academic requirements.
