Why Jane is Forth Valley’s Unsung Champion
Forth Valley Chorus Chorus told us:
Jane is an absolute legend of fundraising within FVC. For many years now, Jane has been making and selling “Jane’s Jams” – her homemade selection of jams, marmalades and chutneys, which she brings along to chorus every week. Every year, this is one of our top fundraisers.
Jane grows all the produce for the jams in her allotment, and opened her allotment up to visitors as part of our Open Gardens fundraiser. She has also recently expanded into running very popular marmalade-making classes.
She keeps producing Jane’s Jams when FVC is not actively fundraising, and even found a way to keep going during lockdown, delivering her jams to members in Edinburgh and beyond!
Jane doesn’t make a big deal out of any of this. She just quietly keeps at it in an unassuming way, with a lovely smile and good grace. Jane is so woven into the fabric of the FVC family that it would be hard to imagine life without Jane and her jams! She is a true unsung champion who thoroughly deserves recognition.
