Most people are prepared to hang up their van keys by the time they reach their mid-70s – but not Suffolk-based grandmother Sue Duncan, who continues to use her 15-year old Citroen Dispatch van to deliver aid to victims of flooding across the UK.

Mrs. Duncan lives in Leiston (about 20 miles north of Ipswich) and runs a small charity called Flood Aid UK, which aims to help the victims of flooding. Having been flooded out of her own home once in 1970, she understands how traumatic it can be, especially for mothers with young children.

Last summer she delivered aid to a young family whose home had been destroyed in the London riots, bringing them beds, a sofa, wardrobe, washing machine and much more: Mrs. Duncan says that she hires a lorry when necessary to deliver aid from the warehouse she uses to store the items she collects from house clearances and receives from donations.

Sue Duncan is holding a fundraising event for Flood Aid UK at Leiston Community Centre this Saturday, 10th December 2011, from 10am-2pm.
