Leprosy should be a thing of the past. Yet every year, thousands of the children are diagnosed with the disease. Many more are ‘hidden’, without the vital care and compassion they need.

Celebrating Jackie for lighting the lamp of love for people with leprosy. Jackie Mackley was honoured for 60 years of incredible service to Welling Lamplighters at St John’s Church on Sunday – World Leprosy Day 2026. She is pictured alongside her husband Keith Mackley who has helped her lead the group since 1974.
