A GROUP of dedicated volunteers have gone the extra mile and raised money for charities while helping members of the public get their jabs.
Vaccine centre volunteers have been raising money for Red Nose Day and Marie Curie at Danbury Medical Centre’s vaccination clinic.
The volunteers have been getting dressed up for Red Nose Day to raise money, while lifting the spirits of people getting their vaccinations.
Now the money is in, they have raised £1,389 from people visiting the clinic for their jabs.
On top of this, they continued to fundraise at short notice for Marie Curie as part of the recent National Day of Reflection at the clinic, raising £326.
The group say they will continue to raise for money for charities.
Alison Kerren, who organised the fundraising events, said: “We will be supporting other charities, going forward, and have been really impressed by the commitment of our volunteers and the generosity of the people coming for vaccinations.”
