Welcome to the Deal branch of Save the Children. We are a group of unpaid volunteers who attempt to raise the profile of Save the Children while also raising valuable funds for deprived children.
In May, we were all extremely saddened to learn of the passing of Robin Parks who has acted as our monthly quizmaster for the last 12 years. Robin ran many quizzes locally and we were really fortunate that he chose to support Save the Children. Robin’s focus was always to ensure that local people had a thoroughly enjoyable evening while at the same time raising valuable funds for whichever charity he was supporting. He was extremely sociable, always good company, kind, and really generous with his time. We really appreciated Robin giving up his time to support Save the Children. He will be sorely missed.
We are extremely fortunate that his good friend, Peter Jones has kindly agreed to take on his role as quizmaster for the monthly quizzes at the Deal Vics Cricket Club. Like Robin, Peter works tirelessly in producing quizzes and is also so generous in his support of local charities. They are always a really enjoyable evening and at the same time provide a regular source of income for Save the Children.
We are so grateful to the Deal Savoyards Choir for singing this year, as they do every year outside the Landmark Centre for an annual Carol Concert. It is obvious from the faces of shoppers that they too enjoy the concert.
We also speak to local groups and associations about the work of Save the Children.
What can you do for us?
1. Volunteer to help us. There are only three or four of us and we would welcome fresh energy, skills and ideas. For example are you a dab hand at IT?
2. Attend our functions – our quiz is on the last Thursday of the month at the Deal Vics Cricket Club at 7.30 pm
3. Donate either locally or direct to our headquarters via their website.
Warmest wishes from all of us at Deal Save the Children
