Summer 2019
Welcome
PMRGCAuk was successful in winning a 1,000 grant as part of Ecclesiasticals Movement for Good awards, giving 1million to charities this summer. Members of the public were invited to nominate causes close to their hearts, with 500 gifts of 1,000 available for donation. Rowena Lake, a member of the Taunton Support Group spotted the opportunity on Facebook at the last moment, leaving us just 24 hours to get the votes in for PMRGCAuk before the closing date, I let the charity know that I had voted for them and then they quickly let others know that they could do the same.
Having been diagnosed with PMR and GCA in 2016, I owe a lot to the charity for the support and help they have given me, as well as that from the Taunton Support Group. I am so pleased that the charity has benefited. With members, volunteers and staff all jumping into action, PMRGCAuk became one of the 7,000 charities nominated by 98,000 members of the public.
