FINANCE NOTICE BOARD – JULY 2022
Hi All, Welcome to July’s Finance Notice Board. Apologies we are late sending this month's publication out. As im sure you are aware we welcomed CQC to the Trust last week to undertake a well led review. This involves interviewing all of the Executive Team and the chairs of the Committees plus other focus groups such as governors, service users and system partners. The report won’t be finalised until the autumn. I did take the opportunity to tell them how great the finance team were! So this month we had the news from Janine that she will be retiring :’( Whilst im happy (and very envious) for her I’m thinking how hard it will be replacing the irreplaceable – some big shoes to fill that’s for sure. But she will still be with for us for quite some time yet.
I’ve started sharing on twitter a bit about us for anyone that might be interested in the joining our team It’s a “Meet the Team”. Highlight for me was attending the Eucharist with Adele at St Marys Primary School. . Ill be looking for other volunteers to be snapped this month… If anyone would like to be part of the recruitment process, please let me know – the staff group will be extremely important. Finally, we will be sharing the 22/23 priorities this week. Im really happy we have captured the engagement from the away day in these…. Thanks for everyone’s hard work…
Suzanne
