Anthea - Volunteer

Anthea is our chief packer, head of Quality Control and one of our founding members. Anthea got involved when the group of sewing bees started at Southend Dance Centre. We quickly discovered her eye for detail which made her the ideal choice for this essential role. 

"Together with my daughter Louise, over the past three years we have measured, checked, packed, printed and labelled over 17,000 sleeves. There were points in the early days when rooms were piled high with sleeves"

Anthea has always been a dedicated PICCPal.  As well as packing, she also seeks out opportunities to spread the word about what we are trying to achieve as well as fundraise wherever and whenever she can.

So far, together with Louise, Anthea has measured, checked and packed enough sleeves to go up and down the Burj Khalifa twice and then back up again for a cocktail.  We reckon she deserves one!
