 I hope you are all enjoying the summer break.  Normally this would be a quieter time in the office but not this year!  As you are all aware we were successful with our tender to the county council for the work carried out in the city.  However, with no statutory funding for South Cambridgeshire, the Board of Trustees have had to make the very difficult decision to focus our limited resources within the city. Families currently being supported in South Cambridgeshire are being assessed individually and their volunteers kept fully informed by their co-ordinator.  Generally the family will continue to be supported until they reach the normal planned closure.

The other important news is that sadly Mel will be leaving us at the end of August. She has been with the scheme for almost 6 years. However, we want to celebrate her success as she takes on her new role as an administrator for a team of local health visitors. We will all miss her but hope she will be very happy in her new post.

 Roger, our treasurer, who has been supporting the scheme since February has had to resign due to personal circumstances.  We appreciate his hard work during the tendering process.

 If anyone knows someone who might be interested in this very vital and worthwhile role please do ask them to ring the office.
