Chairman’s Report - Year Ending 28 February 2019
Posted on December 10, 2019 at 5:36 AM |
Since our last AGM, we
have made significant progress in providing equipment to help the developing
range of outpatient services at Townlands. Following the AGM
presentation by Dr Antoni Chan, Assistant Medical Director and Rheumatology
Consultant, we agreed to fund the entire
cost of an ultrasound scanner using the substantial legacy left by our late
Chairman, Gerry Andrews. We facilitated a Bid by
Dr Bogdanovic, Neurological Consultant, for a special hand held device and the
underwriting of its cost by the Townlands Action Group in memory of the late
Cllr Terry Buckett MBE. We also secured for
Miss Bacon, Opthalmological Consultant, specialist equipment for the treatment
of young children or those with special needs. We funded this using a legacy
from the Late Mrs Muriel Truss. A legacy, from the Late
Mrs Doreen Cave has been used to fund production of a helpful pamphlet to
inform the community of the wide range of services at Townlands and how to
access them. We continue to sponsor
refreshments for the Bell Surgery Health Talks Series at Townlands. We welcome to our
Committee Dr Jenifer Copeland, who adds to our medical expertise and Mrs Emma
Levy who brings fundraising and press experience. Our Charity, launched
in 1955, relies upon support from those in Henley and surrounds who enjoy the
services offered at Townlands, Friends may contribute
as little as £10 a year; whilst many make substantial donations which we
dedicate to carefully considered
purchases to enhance the patient experience. Legacies continue to
enhance our funding stream .We also have plans to revive fundraising events. Guy Norgrove ,having
moved away, steps down after many years as Treasurer and we thank him for his
skill and affable contribution in so many ways
to the work of the Committee, leaving the Friends well set for the
future. We welcome hearing from
anyone wishing to become a supporting Friend or with skill sets to offer the
Committee. |
