Ed runs the raffle every Friday at the Drop Inn for The Compassionate Friends, a bereavem...ent support group and for anyone who has lost someone to suicide. Twice a year he does a 2 day book sale in the carport for the Smith Family, Learning for Life programme. He really loves helping others and being a part of the community. Ever since I had my first child, then I had twins, he waters our garden on our watering days and also does our lawns.
