Newsletters

Our newsletters are edited by Kaye Knowles, CLEFT trustee and Chair of the Fundraising Committee. Newsletters are sent out once a month to our mailing list. We no longer get them printed as we feel that the electronic version is more efficient and is certainly more economical! Hopefully you will find them interesting - they cover our latest news, research updates, fundraising events and any calls for help. If you have not already signed up to receive them as they come out, please click the button below.
