“The Rotary Club of Ludlow joins in expressing its deep sadness by the news of the death of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. 

Prince Philip had been an Honorary Rotarian since 1952. 

‘Service Above Self’ is the principal motto of Rotary and there can be no better example of unselfish service to HM The Queen, to the Country and to the Commonwealth than that which Prince Philip had shown throughout his long life.

We send our sincere condolences to Her Majesty The Queen and all members of the Royal Family in their bereavement.”

Barry Forrester, The Rotary Club of Ludlow President, 11 April 2021

Using the Hardship Fund Ludlow, Rotary Club has helped St Michael’s Hospice, Hereford to continue to develop their “Hospice at Home” Service. This increasingly important service helps ensure that patients can be cared for in the familiar surroundings of their own home. The club funded an otoscope are to augment the equipment nursing staff carry with them on home visits.

Whilst fighting Covid dominates our health service, hospices such as St Michael’s are quietly continuing to support their local communities. In the last year St Michael’s has supported in North Herefordshire and South Shropshire some 86 patients and their families.
