SUPPORT GROUPS NETWORKING
On 11th March I was invited to Manchester Town Hall by the British Heart Foundation to do a presentation "Developing a new logo design". It was North West Heart Support Groups Event - Networking Together - attended by approximately 15 Support Groups.
Session One was "Welcome", "Supporting Heart Support Groups Project" by Julia Coffey BHF and "Developing a new logo design" by myself, which went very well.
Session Two was "Developing links between GP's and Heart Support Groups" and "Networking". Finally, Session Three was a variety of Workshops. It was a most enjoyable day ending at 4pm.

DONATION TO CORONARY CARE WARDS AT ROYAL BOLTON
 
The Coronary Care staff were delighted with our donations to the Unit.
Wheelchair (January 2008) ; Copier (March 2008)

The wheelchair is for use within the Unit for transporting patients between wards.
The Copier is used for photocopying patient notes/graphs, etc. saving nurses' time - copies can now be done within the Unit.

OUR NEW LOGO AND ST JAMES'S HIGH SCHOOL
 
When we decided to change our logo it was suggested that we should involve a local High School. We contacted St. James's High School in Farnworth and staff at the school recommended their graphic design students to take on the project.
Representatives from our committee met up with the staff and students involved and as well as discussing the logo itself also gave out information about our Group and about "healthy living".
More than thirty pupils took part and the standard of entries was very high. The logos were varied and imaginative and there were many interesting explanations
behind the designs. However, the winning student impressed the judges with her simple eye-catching design and said that the logo "represents protection and support - which sums up the group". She was presented with an iPod player as a prize and the two runners-up received gift vouchers. The school was presented with an engraved trophy.
