A ROTARY club has handed out £1,000 to a charity which supports children who have been diagnosed with a complex or incurable condition.
Maldon Rotary Club president Judy Smith presented a cheque for £1,000 to Aron Lane, a fundraiser for the Little Havens Children's Hospice.
Earlier Aron had described the work and care provided by the team of staff and volunteers for very ill children from all over Essex, together with their families and friends.
