Monica Candy


Sadly - our longest serving volunteer - Monica has passed away after a short illness.


Monica has been a volunteer ever since the Drury Lane shop opened - way back in 1980!! In that time - every single one of us has passed through her training course in fashion, sorting & pricing. She has been the one consistent voice in the shop - and I am not alone in saying that I feel slightly rudderless at the moment.


We will all greatly miss her amazing warmth, friendship, guidance, patience (especially those not overly familiar with fashion trends) - but above all - her stories of her life as a nurse throughout the worlds refugee camps & tales of the Drury Lane shops history.
