LOCAL HERO-John Cochrane who works at Sainsbury's Barton Yard Hereford as a Checkout Assistant and is a member of the Fowler Foundation for children with aids in Cambodia, Vietnam and Rwanda, regularly organises fund raising events for the foundation. He is now able to donate £200 to The Foundation thanks to Sainsbury's Local Heroes Matched Funding Scheme. Sainsbury's recognises that many colleagues contribute their time to supporting Local Charitable Organizations, outside of work. To celebrate and support these activities, The Local Heroes Scheme makes donations of £200 towards colleagues chosen causes. The Foundation was founded by Philip Fowler of Symonds & Co, Widemarsh Street, Hereford in June 2005 and has supported many children in Vietnam and Cambodia supplying clothes and funds for life-saving drugs. Life preserving medicine costs £20 a month per child. They now also support Widows and Orphans in Rwanda where £50 helps to set up widows in a micro-business so that they are able to support themselves and their children. The charities next event is a concert by the Talgarth Male Voice Choir at St. Peter and St. Paul’s parish church on Friday 6th June. Enq. 01544 318393
