## **Finances** 

Financial statement- accepted unanimously 

Total in '20-'21: £1,021.54 Total out: £142 Pay IDS: £102.15 

Virgin Money Giving is closing in a month. Any suggestions for a new fundraising platform? I get lots of emails from companies that want the business. **InvestMyCommunity** 

**BOPP** 

**only one needed** 



**Conference** - does BDS offer a prize? 

Plan: when all talks are online ask our members to vote for most promising UK young researcher/surgeon 

**Legacy** - will need to discuss when money in- hand surgeons? Grant or prize money for young researchers cover Dup/Led/PD Ask Dom or BSSH for advice 

**What has everyone done** for the BDS or the patients?  Would be good to write up in next newsletter 

Shaffer- videos Furniss- conference Schurer- social media, patient queries, website, maintaining contacts McNish- finances Manley- patient queries Flanagan- update website? Q&A?  Article on fenestration (Links to Shaffer YouTube) also will help find articles, check re logo for merchandise, table at BOFAS meeting? RalphGleesGiele- 

**Articles** – please if anyone writes an articles that touches fibromatosis, can you email me a copy? Sci-Hub doesn't work on certain publishers sites anymore, so I am struggling getting hold of articles. 

George has access through university so offers help with articles Anna really wants. 

**Hand surgery** - surgeons visiting GP practices and performing surgery on site. A worrying development? 




George thinks it's not bad as some GP's have good operating facilities and after surgery in hospital patients are also referred back to GP for aftercare. 

**Fundraising** - Gary can you help Rachel Dennis on our Facebook group? Gary will reply to her post 

## **Any other news or points to discuss?** 

Chat from Gary re donation sites: https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/givingfund/home  This is the PayPal one. 

This one looks good as well. https://investorsincommunity.org/about/for-charities/ 

Anna will try compare but may be a while before she gets around to it. 

Minutes approved A Schurer and A McNish 

Recording of the meeting is available for those wanting to see it.
