Mark Media Team in Easter Egg Bonanza
Just recently a conversation took place between some of the members of the Mark Media Team where W. Bro Steve Joslin came up with the idea of supporting an Essex Charity called Safer Places, who support victims of domestic violence and their children.
Steve said, ‘I think that these kids are often forgotten, just like their mothers, so perhaps we could get a fund together to get some Easter eggs for the children’.
After a quick call for donations the team raised £130 which was used to purchase Easter eggs and other treats for the children at Safer Places. 80 Easter Eggs and other treats were purchased from Aldi in Southend who were extremely helpful and gave a large chocolate Easter Bunny to Steve to add to the donation
Steve had subsequently contacted the charity and spoken to their Service Manager Louise Pitman who was only too pleased to accept the donation on behalf of the charity. They arranged to meet in Chelmsford to do a handover of the goodies.
W.Bro. Steve and Bro. Rob Whitfield (behind the camera), both Media team members, met with Louise on Wednesday 17th March in Chelmsford and the eggs were duly handed over.
Louise was overwhelmed by the amount of eggs and by the generosity of the Media Team who she praised for thinking of them in particular. Louise said that charities like Safer Places are often forgotten as they are not able to advertise due to the nature of their clients and their situation. Louise further commented that ‘domestic violence is never ok and support like this helps them to help others in very difficult situations’ Safer Places covers the whole of Essex and has now taken control of these services in Hertfordshire as well.
Steve explained to Louise that the Media Team were part of a larger organisation, The Mark Province of Essex, who are active in donating across the county.
She thanked everyone involved and said that she would share the donation on their own social media site for others to see. She was happy to have her picture taken with Steve alongside the eggs, and for us to share on our members only sites.
We have included a link to their website www.saferplaces.co.uk for anyone who would like to learn more about their work or to make a donation.
