Welcome to our July OTR Friends News! 🌻

Welcome to our July newsletter!

I hope that this email finds you well. This month I would like to share a bit of personal news. As some of you might know already, I have recently stepped down from my role of the Community Champion here at OTR. I am not going far, I am moving to our therapies team. However, this change means that by the time you are reading this, all our fundraising inquiries will be handled by Liam (you can email him here). I want to use this last opportunity to communicate a huge thank you to every single person who supported me in the Community Champion role. In the last three years, you have collectively raised over £414K for OTR Bristol and helped me create a robust fundraising system for our charity. I remain inspired, humbled and eternally grateful for all your donations, actions and kind words. Please, do stay in touch with us, as we grow and continue building fantastic relationship with all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
