L.C.E.F. - LONDON COURIER EMERGENCY FUND

London now has it's own emergency fund for injured couriers. You can access the webpage at www.lcef.org.uk to find out all about it and to check out the amazing logo.
We can't stress just how important a fund like this is to couriers who have a variable income with no sick pay. Ask a courier how much they earn and they will tell you £500 a week but most of them are lying, most of them will also be involved in a hospitalising accident at some point in their career. So now there is the L.C.E.F. to help out, but it doesn't fund itself so give a donation or better still organise something to raise funds: an Al**cat or a gig or a track bike comp. If it gets folk hanging out together it strengthens the courier community and a solid community creates stuff like the Emergency Fund - it's a self feeding maelstrom of goodness.

This also means that from now on any courier event in London will have to donate some of the proceeds to the L.C.E.F. or the organisers face getting dirty looks from the other couriers on the road ...actually that happens anyway.

For our part there will be a fund raising tee, hopefully in time for Stef's 10 years party.
