Member Peter Andrews presented the Chief Suffolk Fire Officer John Lacey a cheque of £7500 on behalf of Suffolk Rotary Clubs for the protection of vulnerable people by the installation of fire alarms in their homes.
The scheme was started 7 years ago by the Stowmarket Gipping Valley Rotary Club and has since raised the magnificent amount of £80,000. With fire service budgets severely stretched by government restrictions on finance this has potentially saved many lives in Suffolk.
more In recognition of the monies raised, which now exceed £80,000, for Smoke Alarms to protect elderly and vulnerable residents of Suffolk, this plaque is now proudly displayed in their new HQ.
