Ramandeep was recognised for her display of an outstanding level of kindness and commitment to helping others. 

As a volunteer with the Midland Langar Seva Society, a charity for the homeless, she has supported some of the most vulnerable in the local community. 

During Covid she was involved in the ”Spreading Kindness” project, regularly sending letters and pieces of artwork to elderly residents in care homes, helping them to feel less alone during those difficult times.

As an anti-bullying ambassador at Wolverhampton Girl’s High School Ramandeep has helped develop projects around the positive use of social media, how to deal with peer pressure and positivity challenges in order to support the mental health and well-being of students. She has also led and assisted with several fund raising events in school to support Save the Children, Islamic Relief and the Ukraine DEC appeal.

Molly was recognised for her volunteer work and as a volunteer with the Royal Life Saving Society helps to deliver weekly life saving skills and first aid training to young people in order to keep themselves and others safe. 

During the 2020 lockdown Molly became a founding member and one of the leaders of the local NCS – National Citizen Service social action group where the numerous projects included collecting donations from the local community to help the more vulnerable and marginalized members of society to see them through the winter. She collected over 200 essential items which were donated to the Good Shepherd Shelter. 

Molly’s passion for helping others has seen her work with Wolverhampton Wanderers Foundation “Feed Our Pack” project, where she made and distributed over 250 food packages to the people of Wolverhampton who were most affected by the pandemic, and on projects to support the homeless.

We won’t be holding our regular Club
meeting today but when we met last we remembered the service of our late Sovereign,
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and observed two minutes silence before our
final Toast to her.

Our Club President Mark shared his thoughts
on death of HM Queen Elizabeth II:

As we learned of the sad news that Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has passed away, the thoughts of the members of
Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland are with the Royal Family as
they grieve for their Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother.

The Queen demonstrated extraordinary
dedication and commitment to duty throughout her Reign and did so with a
graceful strength and admirable determination.

We all have our own memories of how the
Late Queen Elizabeth II impacted on our lives, particularly the example she set
us as citizens and Rotarians who ourselves profess to place ‘Service above
Self’.  She has, for 70 years, been the
epitome of placing one’s life in the hands of one’s citizens at home, the commonwealth
and in reality a global population.  We
have been truly fortunate to have her sense of constancy, selfless humility and
compassion through periods of great darkness and also great joy in those long
years.  What a great life, well lived so
that we all might thrive.

She reigned throughout decades of change,
from the difficult post-war years, through to the new horizons of the 21st
century, providing essential continuity for the nation, adapting and evolving
the monarchy to better serve its people.

This is a period of public grief when
people who do not know each other come together to mourn a national figure who
has been consistent throughout our lives and for whom we have collective
affection despite not knowing her personally.

We share our condolences to the Royal
Family and His Majesty King Charles III at this sad time.

Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II

1926 – 2022

Rest In Peace

“My Mother’s reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life. I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of Sovereignty which have now passed to me.

In taking up these responsibilities, I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these Islands and of the Commonwealth Realms and Territories throughout the world. In this purpose, I know that I shall be upheld by the affection and loyalty of the peoples whose Sovereign I have been called upon to be”

The local proclamation of King Charles III as our new monarch will be read by the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Cllr Sandra Samuels OBE, outside St Peter’s Collegiate Church tomorrow (Sept 11), at 1pm. All are welcome so let’s show Wolverhampton’s support for our new King.
