I AM writing on behalf of The Friends of Canford Heath Group Practice to once again thank all those who have supported our fund raising events in 2011, especially those who bought raffle tickets for our Christmas Draw. A list of the prize-winners has been posted on the notice board at the Mitchell Road surgery.

We are pleased to say we raised £1,250 and this, together with other money raised during the year, will go towards the purchase of an ECG monitor and nurses’ equipment. The equipment we have provided over the past 12 years has only been possible thanks to the generosity of so many of the patients and people on and around Canford Heath. Once again many thanks.

MRS S GALPIN, honorary secretary, Friends of Canford Heath Group Practice, c/o Kelly Close, Poole
