What we're up to week commencing 2nd May...

It's always great coming back to work after a long weekend, there's always plenty to be getting on with and lots to do.  This week we're putting together the next eNewsletter and members will soon be receiving their latest magazine. 

But it's not just about member publications, Diane is back on Wednesday when the PAL - Professional Advice Line will re-open between 10am and 4pm.  Before then all members can leave information & advice requests for Diane on the PAL forum.  We have PAl's for all parts of the charity - so in moving on to ACeBabes or More To Life you're still able to access factual advice & professional support.

Clare has had to hit the ground running this week as her day got off to a busy start with two conference calls in quick succession this morning with another this afternoon.  Clare's travelling down to London later in the week with meetings with Government Departments and then spending Friday at our Head Office in Bexhill.

Claire is already preparing for the next members magazine and More To Life newsletter, she'd love ot have more member experiences to share, so if you're keen to see your story in print do please get in touch with Claire.  Claire is also receiving applications for the current vacancies at I N UK - there is still time to apply!

Sheena is now back from annual leave and is looking at ways to improve benefits to members and in ways to work more closely with our advertisers.  If you're interested in supporting I N UK or in advertising in the magazine or on the website then do get in touch with Sheena

Helene is working with regional clinics to ensure there all have supplies of patient information leaflets; we aim to be easy to find for anyone needing support. It's also Helene's birthday this week, we hope she has a super time!

Fiona is currently organising future support events and following up on information requests and Sharon is iff to a NI Assembly Elections Hustings Event. It is so important to get to know and work with politicians; having the opportunity to hear their views at an early stage can make a big difference. Sharon is also looking at regional funding and Grant applications.

If you'd like to know more about any aspect of our work - please do get in touch!  And please do remember we are MUCH more than a website :)

Hope you have a good week!
