The 200 Club
Welcome
Be in it to win it!
to this edition of the Insight Magazine
Insight’s 200 club is a monthly draw
that helps raise money for our charity,
and gives you the opportunity to win
cash prizes. It only costs £12 per
number for the entire year!
I do hope this edition finds
you well and that you
enjoyed the lovely Summer.
By the time you receive this
magazine Autumn will be
here and our thoughts will
be turning to Christmas.
Last year we sold out of Christmas
cards so we’ve ordered extra this year in
anticipation of your continued support
(they are very good quality and excellent
value). The sale of Christmas cards raises
vital funds to help us continue our work
supporting blind and partially sighted
people throughout Gloucestershire.
We rely heavily on donations to help us to
continue the vital work we do.
We’ve had a very busy year successfully
running seven Roadshows around the
County. We had nearly 300 visitors in
total and the feedback was very positive.
We are a County-wide organisation
and will continue to cover the whole of
Gloucestershire as much as we can.
Don’t forget we have Outreach Offices
around the County so please feel free to
visit your nearest one whenever you need
help or advice. For details of your local
Outreach Office please call our helpline
on 01242 22 11 70.
If you wish to participate, please contact
Monica Farthing on 01242 22 11 70.
We’ve got a variety of articles in this issue,
so, please enjoy the Magazine!
Good luck to everyone taking part.
Remember you have to be in it to win it!
Steve Martin
General Manager.
The more numbers you have the
better chance you have of winning!
For example 1 number costs £12,
2 numbers cost £24 and so on.
The draw is made at our resource centre
during the first week of each month.
Remember our 200 club is not just open to
you, our clients, but also to your friends and
family, so why not ask them to join in the fun!
