Did you miss the ballot for the London Marathon? Don't worry - we are delighted to have secured 5 places in this event for the next five years. These highly sought after places may be secured for the April 17th 2011 race by a £50 deposit in the first instance; the balance of £250 to be paid by 3rd April 2011 and a commitment to raise £1200 for the work of POWER through personal sponsorship. Please ring Moira for more details on 01494 614604.
Focus on friends
We are delighted to introduce some of our friends who belong to our membership scheme.
Christina Pond responded to an ad in The Guardian asking for trustees for POWER and was attracted by our emphasis on supporting individuals to change and improve their own lives and that we influence the political and social context to create a climate for change. Unfortunately now her career with the NHS has taken over and she no longer has time to serve as a trustee, and we miss her greatly! But she is still a member of our friendship scheme and supports us wherever she can, donating the best alcoholic mincemeat ever to be sold at our annual Christmas Fair.
