COMMUNITY HERO |
Jo Douglas, from Heron Wood, Aldershot, won the
good neighbour award at a BBC awards ceremony
celebrating 'community heroes'. Jo has
been a much loved member of our congregation for
may years and was proposed for the award by
Pauline Fella, our Church Warden.
Jo was described as a 'guardian angel' for the
work she does in the community, including
visiting the sick, giving people lifts to
hospital, organising shopping trips and setting
up a parent and toddler group at our church.
Jo was successfully treated for a malignant
brain tumour sixteen years ago and she says it
was that experience that inspired her to step up
her support for others. "I had helped
people before, but when you have a close
encounter, you can sympathise more with other
poorly people," she said. "I was surprised
when I won the award because lots of other
people help out in the community too, but I am
delighted". Jo said she could not do all
she does without the support of her husband Ron.
