A SAD DAY FOR THE CHARITY - 1ST MARCH 2011
Today is a very sad day for the Charity. Today I travelled to Sandy, Kent, to attend the funeral of Mrs Shirley Gill, a Trustee and Regional Visitor of the Licensed Trade Charity. Shirley will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her. Her compassion and concern for the welfare of others less fortunate than herself is legendary.
Shirley always made time to talk to everyone. When she was the Chairman of the Fundraising Committees she made a point of visiting every committee in her year of office at least once!
It was great to see so many of Shirley's friends at the funeral and we made sure she had a good send off!

REGIONAL FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE MEETING - 16TH FEBRUARY 2011
Today the Chairmen and Secretaries of our Regional Committees were welcomed to Ascot for a General Meeting and get together.
It was good to hear from you all about how you are still trying to raise funds for our Benificiaries. As I said at the meeting we must not get disheartened as even a small amount of money raised can mean a real difference to some one's life. £200 can buy a Bed or a Fridge. £500 is the average one off award we make to someone in crisis.
I find these meetings give us all a chance to hear from other regions and realise that we are not alone in our struggle to raise money today. Sometimes it is good to hear other ways to fundraise and gives us fresh ideas.
Once again thanks to you all for making the effort to travel to HQ.
