About Us:

Hello, my name is Vanessa and I have lived in Guildford for nearly thirty years.  I have been involved with this amazing charity for almost as long, first as a volunteer and currently in promoting our work in the local community.

So what do we do? 

Brigitte Trust volunteers offer vital emotional support and practical help at home when cancer, or any life-threatening illness is diagnosed.  Our volunteers visit the same family member weekly and build a relationship, offering time to listen and share the emotional burden as well as practical tasks like transport, shopping or perhaps the chance to go out for a drive and a cup of tea!  Our service is completely free, and we need your help to reach out to more people throughout Guildford Borough.  We are part-funded by Surrey Downs CCG but need to raise almost 70% of our funds ourselves to keep our service free of charge to those who need us.

Thank you so much for choosing us, and good luck with the Lottery - fingers crossed!

Best wishes,

Vanessa Smith Promotions Manager
