COPES June NEWS 2023
On Saturday 3rd June, our June Support Group/ Coffee Morning is in the Southend Hospital Women’s Clinic, from 10am until 1 pm. If you’re not sure of anything about this event, do send an email or text/ring on our ‘COPESphone’ (07546 316735).
Last month, Chris and Wendy went to meet the Leigh Lions, to give a talk on the work that COPES does. They were very impressed with the support for local ladies offered by COPES and have very kindly agreed to donate £1,500 to COPES members for the following fundraising causes:-
- Room Hire for a Wellbeing Event
- Therapist expenses for our Coffee Mornings.
Thank you so much to Leigh Lions Association!
COPES, with the CNS team, is trialling a scheme whereby ‘Comfort Boxes’ are given to women who are newly diagnosed. We are funding these by way of an appeal via GoFundMe. To contribute to this scheme, go to the ‘Donate’ button on our website www.copescharity.co.uk
Many thanks to COPES members who have contributed so generously to the recent ‘Spotlight Appeal’ at the MSE Hospitals Trust. Many of our members have been saving their 5p pieces and putting them in a little jam jar. A special mention must go to Chris W, who, with her friends and family, collected a large coffee jar full of 5p coins. These are much appreciated by the MSE Hospitals Fundraising Team.
Our thoughts are with all our members who are having some treatment, operations or who are going through a difficult time at the moment. We hope things improve for you soon xx
