The finanical crisis has hit Greece hard.  It has had a knock-on affect on the health service there.  Originally our clinic was set up to help migrants but now it's helping Greeks because so many simply cannot afford health care otherwise.

The BBC's World Tonight programme visited the clinic and reported on the work we are doing.

Medical student, Claire Ferraro, is calling on others to follow in her footsteps and volunteer at Project:London.  It comes as National Student Volunteering Week kicks off, running from 20-26 February, encouraging students to give up their free time to enhance their skills.  

Claire says volunteering at Project:London was the highlight of her studies when she was based in London: "There is nothing better than being able to tell someone you've successfully found them a permanent GP."

Project:London was delighted to receive a £6000 cheque to help continue its work in giving access to healthcare for vulnerable people. Doctors of the World were one of three charities (out of 7000 eligible charities) that received the most votes to win £6000.

Mark Telfer from NatWest said they had a fantastic response:"It's clear people are passionate about Project:London. It's supporters voted for Project:London in great numbers and this certainly demonstrates how important this project is to the Tower Hamlets community."
