PUBLICITY

We have included more Information Cards about our Group for your local Post Office, Shop or Community Notice Board. This is part of our campaign to raise awareness about our group to give support to people with ME/CFS across the area that we cover.

FUNDRAISING 

The group has received grants of £200 from the Norman Collinson Trust and £284 from the Purey Cust Trust to cover our newsletter and friendship network costs for the coming year.

The group will need to raise more funds to cover other expenses and hope to organise a fundraising collection. Also, thank you to one of our members who has very kindly donated £100 to the Group.

 

WARM FRONT

One of our members has contacted us to let us know that the grants for £1,500 (or £2,500 for the Over 60s) for insulating and heating for homes, etc, can include help with moving items,  eg,  clearing  the  loft.  For  more information  contact the  Energy  Efficiency Advice Centre on 0800 512012.
