It is our intention to inform members as to how some of the donations we receive is spent on your behalf. We hope that this information is useful to everyone. October 2009: Transplant clinic - requested five new computers because the ones they have been using are now somewhat out of date and in need of an upgrade. We were delighted to help and at a cost of £4,715.99 the new PC's are now in place. Ward 27 - Following a request from the ward we have provided 2 new plasma televisions for use in two individual units on the ward. June 2009: New mugs, kettles and toasters have been bought for the flats and the fans will be replaced very soon. Our transplant social worker, Jane Meadows has had her working float made up to £500. February 2009: The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation It is with pleasure that we have donated £20,000 to Professor Corris and the transplant team, including the medics and nurses, so that they can attend the ISHLT conference and meeting in Paris which is taking place in the spring of 2009.

Professor Paul A Corris FRCP Dear Joan, Thank you very much indeed for your magnificent cheque which arrived in the office this morning. Can I say on behalf of all of us on the transplant team just how grateful we are for this level of support. As I am sure you understand the ISHLT (International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation) annual meeting is the meeting where we can learn the most about heart and lung transplantation and everything that is going on in the world. To be able to take such a large number from Newcastle not only helps with the education of those who attend but is very good indeed for team building in the whole group. We are all very grateful indeed for the efforts you put into fundraising and hope to continue our close association with the Freeman Heart & Lung Transplant Association. Your sincerely, Professor Paul A Corris FRCP
