Jennifer Gallucci Honorary Freeman Houghton Regis

Jennifer Gallucci received the Honorary Freeman award on 14th August 2024 from the Town Mayor Cllr Elaine Cooper in recognition of her remarkable contributions to the Houghton Regis community. A long-time resident, Jennifer has been the driving force behind the voluntary efforts in the town. Over a decade ago, she and other community members established Houghton Regis Helpers, a voluntary group that assists residents with tasks such as shopping, gardening, hospital visits, prescription collection, and various odd jobs. Under Jenny's leadership, the group has flourished, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when it became a vital lifeline for many.

In November 2023, Houghton Regis Helpers received the prestigious King's Voluntary Award from King Charles III, the highest honour for a community group, equivalent to an MBE. This recognition, which involves rigorous scrutiny, underscores the group's significant impact. The community of Houghton Regis takes great pride in this achievement, and it is fitting that Jennifer, the driving force behind the group, be honoured with the award of Honorary Freeman of the Town.
