**Family Pays Tribute to Cornish Aid Worker Killed in Gaza**
It’s been one year since James Henderson, a 33-year-old aid worker from Cornwall, was killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza. His family has paid tribute to him, remembering his life and work.
James grew up in Penryn and worked as a security advisor for the charity World Central Kitchen. He was tasked with ensuring that food aid convoys were safe and followed the correct route. Tragically, he was killed along with six other aid workers on April 1, 2024.
**Legacy Lives On**
The family has been working to keep James’ memory alive. His mother, Trish, said it’s been an “extremely challenging” year, but they’re determined to preserve his legacy. James’ father, Neil, said the boxing club where he was a member will continue to be a special place for them.
**Gym and Ring Dedicated to Him**
The Falmouth and Penryn Boxing Club has dedicated a gym and ring in honor of James. His friends say this is a fitting tribute to his love of boxing and fitness. Trish said it’s a reminder that her son’s spirit lives on, even though he’s no longer with them.
**Family Reflects on Memories**
James’ fiancee, Jacqui, said the gym brings mixed emotions. She’s proud but also sad because they wish James were still here to share in their memories. The family has planned a special day to remember him and wants people to feel comfortable talking about Jim and sharing their memories of him.
