The details of a well-loved Newham charity founder s funeral have been announced.
Kevin Jenkins OBE - who set up Ambition Aspire Achieve - will be laid to rest on Friday, April 30.
The funeral will be for family only due to Covid-19 restrictions, but the cortege will stop outside the charity s base at the Terence Brown Arc in the Park at Hermit Road Recreation Ground.
It is due to arrive at the site in Bethell Avenue, Canning Town, at 10am.
I heard from a doctor friend who said that the public aren’t aware of the situation in the hospitals, which are over subscribed, with patients in the corridors.
I am begging people to do the right thing and think of others or we will never rid ourselves of this awful virus. There is no point clapping the NHS staff and others if you are going to ignore the rules, prolong the pandemic and work these wonderful people into the ground. Many are already at breaking point.
We must buy in to the restrictions
