Paul Draper - Companion Service VSO for Brighton

Today, I'm at the Hangleton Food Bank promoting our Companion service funded by @SGNgas and providing support with energy bills. We are also looking for new Companion volunteers in #brightonandhove #Brighton #Hove please get in touch for more info!

I look forward to updating here about my work and linking with other organisations to help this community!

I recently stepped down as a Community Fundriaser for east London , I am now working in the caring services of @mariecurieuk as a Volunteers Services Officer in Brighton & Hove developing out new Companion Service and helping terminally ill people with the cost of energy bills

The Community Fundraisers have raised over £1,800 in just two hours!!! What a great day funding Marie Curie services

Our star early risers @MedialabGroup are kicking of our City Day street collection thanks to them and @20GreshamSt for hosting this flagship Great Daffodil collection!

Thank you to @HSBC_UK for supporting our Great Daffodil Appeal collections. This is Jamie from HSBC volunteering at his first ever collection at Canary Wharf station this morning and he did a great job, thank you!

Our first Great Daffodil Appeal collections in the City and east London are underway. Here is Margaret, who has been busy taking donations from the generous commuters at Fenchurch Street!

In winter, the phlebotomy team at King George Hospital raised £932, THANK YOU @BHRUT_NHS ! This spring why not be inspired by these fabulous people in supporting our Great Daffodil Appeal, or check out our fundraising ideas here: mariecurie.org.uk/fundraise-for-…
