Petersfield's local news

Local news for Monday 15 July, 2024

Joyce Perry, who died in early September aged 94, was remembered by a gathering of over 100 people and others online on Friday 4 October at the United Reform Church in Petersfield.

Her sons and grandsons spoke lovingly about her life and one of her poems was read.

She moved to Petersfield with her family in 1974.

Long time friends, Carol Tubbs and Robert Venables, spoke to Mike Waddington about her role building and developing the voluntary sector for the community in Petersfield.

What is now Winton House and the Petersfield Voluntary Care Group (who transport about 100 people a month to medical appointments) owe much to her drive and dedication. With her husband, she also played a role in the beginnings of Petersfield Housing Association.

She was Honorary President of Winton House, a role now given to Robert Venables.

She was made MBE in 2000.

The family requested donations for Age Concern.

Hers was ‘a life well lived.’

The NHS says, immunisation protects you from flu and Covid. 

It also means if you do become ill, it's likely to be milder and you’re less likely to end up in hospital. 

Dr Matt Nisbit, a GP in Basingstoke, is leading the drive for the jabs across Hampshire.

He has been a GP partner at Crown Heights Medical Centre since 2010. 

He  has provided clinical support to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight COVID-19 Vaccine programme since 2019, taking on the role of clinical lead for the programme in 2021.

A particular prioritythis year is vaccinating pregnant women who are at increased risk of complications from COVID-19 and flu but may not see themselves as being so. 

Last year 38 per cent of pregnant women came forward to have their vaccination, compared to 51 per cent in 2021.  

Women who are 28 weeks or more pregnant, and people aged 75 to 79, are also being invited to come forward and have their respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine.  

People can book their flu and COVID-19 vaccine via the NHS website, by downloading the NHS App, or by calling 119 free if they cannot get online. 

He explained why and how to get yours.
