Shaping up for the future in the Eastern Counties
A new region has been formed to reflect the Eastern Counties, one of the fastest growing areas in the country.
The existing regions of Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk, boasting a combined 18 years of working with Spoon, have amalgamated to strengthen their position in developing the charity's work.The recently formed Eastern Counties Region, chaired by Séamus Farrelly, will take overall strategic control of finance, rugby club liaison, corporate sponsorship and publicity. The three present regions will retain their individuality as sub-committees, using their valuable local knowledge to organise vital fund raising events and rally support at grass roots level. Attracting new membership is one key goal set by the Eastern Counties Region which will work closely with the sub-committees to dovetail recruiting events.
The management committee will alternate the location of its meetings to reflect the Eastern Counties Region utilising club match days to meet and raise the profile of Wooden Spoon. Each sub committee will continue to hold individual local meetings.
