Befriending Networks Vital Skills Course I have just completed the Boundaries course. As before, I worked through the online course over 2 weeks then I had a 2-hour online support session with the Leaning and Development Officer at BNs and other participants. I have now started the next course Waiting Lists & Endings. – Meeting with Graeme Dey MSP Unfortunately, Graeme Dey is unable to come to our AGM but will visit us at the end of August for an update on our service. Flowers The flowers donated by Sainsbury’s continue to be delivered regularly to our Friends and befrienders by Brenda. I have had lots of lovely e-mails, phone calls and cards from people who have been delighted to receive a bunch and saying how much they appreciate it, it’s nice to be thought of, it’s brightened up their day etc. Many thanks to Brenda for sorting through the flowers to ensure everyone receives a nice bunch and for trudging around in all weathers not only in Monifieth but the surrounding area. Some of the houses are not easy to find, especially when I give her the wrong address! Thanks also to Audrey and Barbara who took over while Brenda was on holiday recently. Desks We popped up to Forfar earlier this week to look at suggested by Maggie. The desks looked ideal and we have reserved 3, along with a 4-drawer metal filing cabinet and computer chair. Thanks to Maggie for organising this. They will be ready to up lift mid-July.
