Macmillan Cancer Care

I am meeting Macmillan at their London Head Office next week to discuss a possible website link with them. We all know what fantastic support they give to families affected by Cancer , and I would like to make a positive contribution in a practical way.

As you can see from my website I write Eulogies and Sympathy Poems , and I will make an agreed donation to Macmillan for every poem written - if the customer gets my details via Macmillan's website.

Will keep you posted.

Fundraiser for Keston Pre-School

The 12th June fundraiser at Keston Village Hall was not massively attended , but we still had a great time. You've all heard about speed-dating - well I introduced a free " speed poetry writing " interlude , inviting ladies to share private stories and anecdotes on their friends, which I then converted into amusing 3 or 4 verse poems. When you've got about 15 minutes only to come up with something it certainly keeps you on your toes !! None of them will help me become Poet Laureat but at least more people know what I'm capable of , and it helps get the name known.
