"In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2021 it was requested that someone take the lead in establishing the pharmacy lead vaccination program for the community in which Haddenham and District Rotary was located and of course Martin stepped up to the plate"

"Martin recruited and trained over 100 volunteers including other Haddenham and District Rotarians. Under Martin's leadership the team of volunteers delivered up to 400 vaccinations per day"

"Martin successfully served his community at a crucial time and with his team of Haddenham volunteers gave over 2000 hours of their time towards vaccination efforts"
