COPES IN AUGUST
Your Committee News
All the work done by the COPES Committee is done on a purely voluntary basis. We work closely with the hospital staff, Mr Razvi, Ms Kolomainen and the CNS team particularly, as well as the hospital management. Meetings are held 4 times yearly from 6-8 pm.
The planning sub-committee organises and manages things on a day to day basis. We are Wendy Barker (finance), Wendy Davies (chair), Stacey Green, Rosemary Petronis, Chris Roostan (vice-chair), Sue Soper (secretary) and Jackie Spackman. We keep in touch via email and text and three of us (Chris, Sue & WendyD) meet around once a month to plan events.
If you think you’d like to join the committee or feel able to make any suggestions for future events and activities, please feel free to get in touch, through Sue or Wendy D in the first instance.
