Jonathan (Nifty) Cornell died at the young age of 40 in May 2011 after a 2 year battle against bowel cancer. In his last month he spent time in Arthur Rank House who did a fantastic job of caring for him and also supported him to acheive his wish of dying peacefully at home.

While unable to work due to the side effects of his treatments Jonathan raised money for several charities, organizing events to keep him busy but he wanted the donations from his funeral to go to Arthur Rank House a charity he had not raised money for before but saw first hand what an important role they play. An amazing turnout on the day of over 400 mourners led to people being squeezed in to every part of the church as well as standing outside, it also resulted in a fantastic sum of £2,180.00 being raised for Arthur Rank and is the start of Jonathan’s Primrose Tribute Fund, a fund that friends and family will add to over the years to continue to raise money in Jonathan’s name. I will do my best to update this section with details of events and the money raised by them.
