A HUNDRED year old from Farnham has been honoured with a special award for her on-going kindness and generosity.

Kath Green received one of Sanctuary Care’s monthly Kindness Awards following a surprise nomination from its Basingfield Court Residential Care Home’s activities leader Tracy Mercer.

It comes after Kath collected all kinds of items, including handmade knit wear and even spare gifts from her recent milestone 100th birthday to sell at the home’s Christmas fayre in December, raising over £500 for the home and her fellow residents.

The centenarian, who has now begun collecting for the home’s summer fete said: “I was very touched to receive a Kindness Award and loved the flowers – I can’t wait to show my family.

“I have always organised jumble sales and local fetes, I like to think I have a good eye for what will sell!”
