Departures and Christmas Cards

And so it’s Friday once again. Apologies for the lack of blogging emanating from the St John Eye Hospital London office – with annual leave and people leaving, it’s proven difficult to maintain momentum!

However, here we are back again. And this week has been dominated by former Head of the Fundraising and Marketing office in London, Nicky Wynne, moving on to pastures new. Wednesday was her last day at work here and we gave her a lovely send off, with guests looking in on us from the Order of St John and from further afield, too. Nicky was a wonderful boss to work for and will be missed by all in London – as well as by her colleagues in the oPt.

And if you look at our news section on the website, you’ll see that two other valued members of staff are also wending their ways to pastures new…

So – now we are a man down in the UK office! Although, having been Nicky’s deputy for four years, I believe that I am more than equipped to guide the team here through this interim period.

And, as we approach the end the year, we are very close indeed to our fundraising targets for 2011 – we just need to make that last minute push. So, if any of you have yet to organise your Christmas Cards, look no further and order them from us!

Thank you everyone – your support is always appreciated.

Best regards. Geof.
