7 Any Other Business
It was noted that attempts to raise funds from external sources had become very difficult. The normal routes through supermarkets reserved their charitable funds for Community projects. TG had found a concerted email and letter drop to nearly 40 local businesses had failed to raise any monies at all.
Dr S suggested a different approach and joint ventures between CMG and PPG. Dr S and JC noted a number of possibilities:
-
fund raising with PPG at flu clinics - also raise PPG profile
-
posts on social media seeking funding via patients
-
canvass patient body - if they wanted to show support - donations - would need clear guidance of where the money would be spent - perhaps examples of
-
wnat various sums would purchase?
-
actively have profile (gazebo!) at Ashby events
-
A Park Run in July to celebrate 75 years of the NHS - Dr S to provide contact - this is a National event - perhaps could be a local fundraiser
