The British Dupuytren's Society has decided to ask our members to vote for the best British paper, so we can send a prize (maybe a hamper for the research team?) to a promising British scientist who is trying to find a better treatment for us.

YouTube has decided to set some videos as “adult only” because there is bare skin or blood visible. Wolfgang Wach has removed these restrictions, but they may come back if YouTube has their way.
If you can't watch a video please complain to YouTube and let me know. I a not sure if there is another way we can share the videos, but we may have to look into another video sharing platform.

We had our AGM, no shocking news.
All trustees had to stand down, all stood for re-election and were voted in unanimously.

Donations
VirginMoneyGiving has now closed. If you used to donate through this site, alternatives are direct through the website, through Facebook, Paypal, AmazonSmile, GiveAsYouLive, or CharitiesAidFoundation. Leaving us a legacy in your will is a tax effective way of reducing the tax burden for your loved ones
If you would like us to set up a new platform please let me know, and if you have any suggestions which one I will be very grateful, as I received loads of emails of sites that want our business and can't tell which one would be suitable.
