Julie is one of our newer and, some may say, slightly mad/ brave member of the volunteering team.  

Julie started sewing lessons at Kayes in May 2024 as a distraction after losing her Dad to melanoma and also her Mum to ovarian cancer in 2020.  After settling into lessons the team soon introduced her to the PICCPals group and after hearing about the lovely work we do, Julie signed up immediately.  She can skilfully put her hand to any job from cutting, to overlocking and turning of sleeves. She's worked with the Westcliff crew at Kayes and also with the fabulous team at our Leigh hub, recruiting other volunteers along the way.

Julie has also completed a major fund raising event for PICCPals by completing an acrobatic WingWalk at Duxford Airfield on August 7th 2025 - the money raised - over £2,000 - was kindly donated to PICC Pals!! 

She explained: "I want to do this as a great big thank you for all of the love and support that the group has given me over this past, very difficult year"
