It was a feat described as a “remarkable achievement for such a small charity.” The awards were presented by Venessa Feltz at Newport in May. The newsletter appeared on schedule four times during the year. Research conducted by the Foundation through vice chairman Charles Maynard showed that Reaching Out was the most valued resource of the Foundation. In the 4th Quarter we launched our web site at www.cdls.org.uk to great acclaim. The site covers the whole of Reaching Out as well as links to other CdLS web sites, medical information and general information about the condition. The site is being used to raise awareness about the Foundation and the effect of CdLS. The Foundation acknowledges the support of companies Newnorth printers of Bedford, Trident Photographic Services and Trident Communications (York) for their ongoing help in design and production of the newsletter. The Foundation would also like to thank those companies who donated stationery and the Foundation members who gave their time to help stuff envelopes and distribute the publication. |
