Speak Out News - July - Sep 2014 July-Sep 2014 | Seite 2

News Welcome to Speak Out News Welcome to Speak Out News! Ian We have some good and sad news to tell you. Our colleague Ian Clements has left Speak Out. He ran the Peer Information Project for the last three years... but this project has come to an end. So we wish Ian well & hope to see him helping Speak Out in the future. Liz We also have to tell you that Management Committee member Liz Bruce has decided to stand down. She is very busy with lots of different things. We wish her well and thank her for her service to SOH Management. In more cheerful news... we are pleased to tell you we have been awarded just under £10,000 from the National Lottery! We are really excited as the money will be used to help people in the East of our Borough to get involved in our SOH Projects. We are also pleased to tell you we have been awarded a PQASSO award. This is awarded to charities who provide a high quality service. So we are really proud to have this. Finally... We have had great success with our Art and Crafts and Weigh2lose groups. We are hoping to continue these in the coming months. With the lovely sunny weather, we have lots of outdoor outings for you to come along to including picnics, walks, festivals & seaside visits. So do get involved. Have a lovely Summer! 1 Nick Sally Nick Benjamin & Sally Malit Speak Out Co-Directors
