Warm Congratulations to Janice Robinson who was one of the fortunate recipients chosen from the Newcastle Diocese to receive this year’s Maundy Money!

His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen attended the service at Durham Cathedral, on April 17, and presented Maundy Money to 152 recipients—76 men and 76 women—honouring their exceptional Christian service and reflecting the King’s age.

Janice Robinson was honoured for a number of reasons. She is a lay minister in the Benefice of Mitford and Hebron and the Upper Wansbeck Churches, and a churchwarden in the parish of Mitford.

She is Morpeth Deanery lay chair and has taken an active part in supporting the Deanery Development Plan, helping to build up relationships between laity and clergy and facilitating the sharing of resources across parish boundaries.

In addition, Janice is a hospital chaplain for Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust at Alnwick Infirmary and serves as an Anna Chaplain in the churches she serves.

She has an active funeral ministry too throughout the deanery and feels that supporting and helping people through bereavement is both rewarding and a privilege.

Over the years, Janice has been involved in Tritlington Church of England first school in the parish of Hebron, where she served as a governor, helping with collective worship and supporting pupils and staff.
