Hi, my name is Matt Croxall and I will be the acting Community Development Officer for South, Mid and West Wales until July 2010.
I am responsible for supporting individuals, families and organisations across the region, and work towards raising the profile of the Meningitis Trust and awareness about the signs, symptoms and
after-effects of meningitis.
I am also involved in helping people to raise vital funds for the Trust, so if you would like to know more about how you can get involved with any of our events, or if you have an idea yourself, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
To find out more about the Trust’s work within your local community or if you would like to become involved, please call me on 0845 120 4884 or email mattcroxall@meningitis-trust.org.
Yell.com has something to shout about!
Yell.com staff at the Newport call-centre donated £150 raised during their weekly ‘dress-down Fridays’. It’s a nice easy way to raise valuable funds, and is a nice way to create a relaxed atmosphere around the office. If you’d like to discuss raising funds and awareness within your place of work, call Matt Croxall on 0845 120 4884.
