News - North Wales Group

Meetings:
Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month, usually at the Miners Welfare, Llay near Wrexham, at 8.00pm (Bereavement meetings are held on the first Tuesday - same venue and time). For further information about the North Wales & West Cheshire CHICS group you can contact Cheryl at: cheryl.davies7@btopenworld.com or Erica at: erica.chics@hotmail.co.uk

If you would like a home visit from Erica or a chat with her on the phone please do not hesitate to contact her. Also, Erica is at clinic once or twice a week. You can leave a message for her if she is not there.

100 Club:
Congratulations to our big June 100 Club winners: No. 29 Tania Mackay of Frodsham and No. 92 Mrs Meira Owen of Treloggan. They win £100 and £50 respectively.

Funding:
Members who receive our newsletter will no doubt be aware of the financial position of the North Wales and West Cheshire Group. Due to a lack of funding we are in danger of loosing Erica (our Family Liaison Officer) and are having to cut back on our activities this year. We have made applications to Children in Need for activities and the Lloyds TSB Foundation for core funding. We will let you know the outcome of these submissions.

Update: Sadly we were turned down by the Lloyds TSB Foundation. We are still waiting to hear from Children In Need.

Do you work for a company who gives charitable donations? Could you place a collection box in your local newsagents or pub? If anyone can help in any way (e.g. sponsored events, coffee morning, school non-uniform day, etc.) please contact any of your committee.

Our sincere thanks go to those of you who have already responded. Your support is very much appreciated.

Remember CHICS is here to give you and your family support - we are only a phone call away.
