Dear Members,
We have a very important members meeting before drop
in from 12pm this Monday 23rd February with free lunch and goodies included
for everyone.
Why?
We need to update you on our important work this year to get
Gateway more funding. We also want to tell you about the steps we need to
take over the next few weeks. In January, the Gateway Advisory Committee
wrote to important people and officials in the HSE and the Department of
Health. We requested meetings with them to discuss how to get Gateway
better funded for the future.
Why now?
The officials and HSE managers we wrote to are influential
people and we hope they will help us find better funding for Gateway.
They would like to come and visit Gateway and learn more about us over the next
few weeks. We need to arrange days and times for these people to visit
us. We also need to make sure that all members are aware of these
meetings in advance so they can choose to attend or not. We will make
sure these visits are put into the monthly schedule and that members are
emailed updates and a blog update will be posted online for example: http://projectgateway.blogspot.ie/2015/02/february-schedule-2015.html
.
Can you help Gateway?
We would also appreciate any help from members during drop
ins and helping to pass along the information to others.
Martha will talk to everyone at the members meeting this
Monday. She will talk about ways people can keep their privacy and ways
members could help if they want.
This will be a short meeting and relaxed chat with a nice
free group lunch from 12pm.
Please attend this important members meeting if you can and
tell other members to come too.
Many thanks,
Fionn & Martha
Gateway Team
