Good morning everyone!
Gaynor has organised a Christmas Pyjama day at Browney House, all staff on Monday 23rd December will be wearing Christmas PJ's in aid of

1. Raising awareness of Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) there are leaflets available on the desk with information of what CRY is all about, but also you could visit their website at https://www.c-r-y.org.uk/

2. We know a lot of people donate money to charities instead of buying Christmas Cards and this is something I am doing this year, I have decided to donate my money to CRY, if anyone else would like to make a small donation, you can do this by
1. scanning the QR code that can be found in the surgery.
2. make a small donation into the donation box in surgery
3. visit www.c-r-y.org.uk

There are also pens and keys you can purchase for a small donation.
Please come and support this Charity, which is important to us and help save a young persons life.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post .
