Nene Valley Rotary awards a Paul Harris Fellowship to the Lewis Foundation

Lorraine Lewis, co founder of the Lewis Foundation, was recently awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship along with a cheque for £2500 to support the charity in its efforts to support cancer patients across the East Midlands.

The Paul Harris Fellowship is named after the founder of Rotary International. It is awarded by Rotary to people who have shown outstanding service and dedication to their communities.

The Lewis Foundation was founded in 2016 by Lorraine and Lee Lewis to support cancer patients undergoing treatment in hospital with gifts and support packages.

In six years it has grown from supplying one cancer ward to now supplying 14 hospitals in our region every week.

It now calls on over 50 volunteers to enable it to continue with this mammoth task.
