On Saturday evening I attended a charity variety show organised by Emily Gadd. She was raising money for CanCare, a Purbeck based volunteer team supporting cancer sufferers and their families plus two of our local Explorer scouts group who will be attending the next World Jamboree in South Korea.
Anne was one of the people taking part and many of the cast were from Swanage Drama Company with whom we have performed in the annual pantomime in Swanage,
Pulled together quickly as a show there was a range of singing, dancing, comic turns and some very personal recollections of Covid from NHS workers of whom the cast had a number. Also Can Care and the scouts shared what their cause was. Emily also shared a sketch based around her own cancer story.
It was a shame that even more people couldn’t have been there. Over £400 was raised to be split between the two causes. I am glad I went even if it was in the last school that I worked in and that was quite hard.
Swanage as a community has many groups and meetings etc organised by volunteers in the town. For a town of 10,000 an incredible amount of things happen in the support of others. We are lucky to live here.
