Ms Vasey came up with the idea for the group with university friend, Sue Greenwood, and another friend, Vicki Peacock.
“I knew there was so much unmet need out there and wanted to feel like I was doing something proactive to help,” Ms Peacock said.
“I’m always very conscious it’s just a sticking plaster not a solution, but hearing from recipients I know our donations do make a tangible difference.”
Ms Greenwood said: “The range of people, families and charities that we’ve been able to help has been amazing.
“I never thought we would reach so many people in such a variety of circumstances, it constantly reminds me that stuff happens in life and none of us know what’s around the corner.”
