Our President- Damian Green MP
It is very gratifying to see that our President is Damian Green the
local MP for Ashford. He had no hesitation in agreeing to help when
asked, he fully appreciates the real importance of what we are doing
and is happy not to just be the President, but is actively involved.
Our Patrons- Bob and Mary Holness
It is also great that Bob Holness agreed to be one
of our Patrons. All of you probably know Bob Holness as one of Britain's
leading Broadcasters. He has made his living out of using his voice
as an effective communication tool. His wife Mary has recently joined him as Patron in recognition of her whole-hearted
support for the Charity.
Bob's work has shown
him how important it is to give people the chance to communicate
effectively. Bob and Mary have given their time freely and generously.
So the next time you listen
to Bob's rounded and clear tones remember that he is a great supporter
of Find a Voice and he feels passionately that we should give a
chance to people to get the best out of life with their speech problems.
Corporate Sponsors- Retainagroup
One of our corporate sponsors,
the RETAINAGROUP have two sites in Ashford and their headquarters in London.
They are a company dedicated to property security, but their Managing
Director Wendy Rowe and their Chairman Lord Imbert soon
recognised, without much persuasion, the importance of the
aims of the charity. They have been the most generous and encouraging
sponsor that any charity could have.
Other Sources of Help
We have been fortunate to receive support from a wide range of sources, including the de Haan Charitable Trust, Ashford Borough Council, Kent County Council Members' Grants, Alan Willetts Foundation, Scope, Children in Need and Kent Community Foundation.
If you are a corporate sponsor interested in the work of the charity
helping to support people with communication difficulties I would
urge them to contact Wendy
Rowe of the RETAINAGROUP.
