Littlehampton man’s stunning fundraising celebrated

His tally stands at a staggering £88,000, most of it achieved since 1999, at his ‘home’ event, Littlehampton Bonfire Night, and a host of other bonfires and parades across Sussex and London.

Littlehampton Rotary Club has recognised Tyndall’s ‘tireless work within the community’ by nominating him for the movement’s highest award, a Paul Harris Fellowship. The citation, signed by the president of Rotary International, together with a lapel badge, was presented to him at last week’s meeting by Littlehampton Rotary president John Mitchell.

“ ‘Service above self’ is the main motto for the Rotary movement and Tyndall certainly lives up to it with all the work he does for the community,” John told the meeting.

Tyndall, 65, of High Street, Littlehampton, was encouraged to start fund-raising by his godmother, Frances Harrison, who was still collecting until a few weeks before she died, aged 93.

“My target is to raise £100,000 by the end of next year and then I shall keep going as long as I can,” he said.
