Beverley Kennedy

All Things Local has joined forces with Beverley Kennedy (pictured) from Floraline, Gregory’s Way in Belper, to offer readers the chance to show their appreciation for a fellow member of the community.

The recipient of this issue’s bouquet is Amanda Claxton who works for the local District Nursing Team, who was nominated by Jackie Appleton, her friend and colleague. Here’s what Jackie wrote:

Amanda (right) with her Friendship Blooms bouquet from Jackie.

“I wish to nominate Mrs Amanda Claxton to receive a Friendship Blooms bouquet as she is an angel in disguise! Last year during the pandemic I had to isolate and my partner David has Parkinson’s; with all our family living away things were difficult. Amanda was amazing bringing boxes of supplies and also keeping in contact daily with support. She has been there for me since, too, looking out for me when David was in hospital recently. She is always so caring and a real gem; we don’t know where we’d be without her. We both work for the district nursing team and all our patients love Amanda, she the kindest, most selfless person I’ve ever met always putting others first. I am so fortunate to work with her and call her a friend.” Jackie Appleton

Nominate someone to receive the next bouquet.

All you have to do is state, in no more than 100 words, who you are nominating. Include their address and the reasons why you are nominating them. You can nominate more than one person if they are living/working at the same address… and remember – flowers don’t just have to be for women!

The only rule is that the person receiving the flowers must live or work in the distribution area of All Things Local, Belper Edition (listed on front cover). Just write your nomination on a piece of paper and send to Friendship Blooms, All Things Local, 74 Woodhouse Road, Kilburn, Belper, Derbyshire DE56 0NA or e-mail your nomination to helen@allthingslocal.co.uk putting ‘Friendship Blooms’ as the subject. Please include your full name, address and daytime telephone number on your nomination.
