COMMITTEE NEWS
We recently had our AGM. The hospital rules for charities are developing with the amalgamation of the three local hospitals. They are in the process of transferring funds held by them in the past to our COPES charity bank account and we are now taking on more responsibility for running our own fundraising. We are still working to support the MSE Hospitals Charity Fund. We work closely with staff from the Finance and Charity Fundraising Departments and of course with the CNS teams and Consultants team. We look forward to extending these links to Basildon and Broomfield Hospitals in the future, as our Committee develops. The COPES committee was re-appointed, in the absence of other volunteers. We discussed future planning and we are now looking for other members to join us on the committee. There may be times in the future when we (Wendy, Chris and Sue) are unable to give our time to the Exec Committee. This work is necessary for the smooth running of COPES support, our events and activities. We think it is very important that our activities continue, supported by a wider group of members. If you feel you could devote a little time (mainly online and at a time to suit you) do have a word with us. We know that the work that COPES does is appreciated and that we would all wish it to continue Thank you.
Wendy, Chris & Sue (COPES Exec Committee)
