In the beginning....2013. This is where it all started.
Getting ready for competition time. Many of you sent in lovely photos telling us what the group meant to you. The group got the recognition it deserved in 2015 after winning the Nursing Times Awards!.
Each year we had meetings every 4 months with varying presentations from other professionals, all the subjects chosen by the group each time.
In October 2018 it was our 5th birthday. We celebrated with a party and a Christmas raffle. Lots of great prizes. Everyone shared their stories and gave each other that much needed support. Lots of cake and sandwiches. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We raised £230.
All monies raised will be used for the group. Any ideas welcome of what you think we should spend this on. Have a think about when you were in hospital, what would have been of use to you?
