“It has been another busy year for the Friends – with the added responsibility of GDPR compliance. So many of you, in replying to our “Please may we keep in touch?” GDPR mailout, responded with generous donations. Thank you to you all.
As a small committee of trustees, we feel a great responsibility when we have to assess grant applications and decide which should be supported. We endeavour to use Friends charity funds as prudently as possible – with a view not only to the present healthcare needs of the local community but to the longer term as well.
….
Thank you to the Friends volunteers for helping to run the hospital Shop and for taking the trolley shop up to patients on Ailesbury Ward each weekday. The home-made raffle prizes provided by our knitters and bakers etc are always a great success, a wonderful fundraiser, and a delight to see. Thank you also to my fellow trustees – and in particular trustee (and volunteer) Nelson who is stepping down from duties shortly. He has been a steady and good-humoured team player and we shall be sorry to see him go. We are fortunate that Keith Marshall will be re-joining the committee early next year. However, we would, as always, welcome any newcomers who feel they might have the time to attend 4-5 daytime meetings during the year.
Wishing you a safe and happy Christmas and all the best for 2019.”
