National Dignity Council Meeting

Jan Burns 19/05/14 Dignity Champions forum

We had a very productive National Dignity Council meeting today - here are a few issues that were discussed: 1 - The Council will submit a proposal to the Charities Commission to gain charitable status. This has been made possible, thanks to the diligent work of the Council Secretary pulling relevant papers together. This will of course have positive major implications for our fund raising opportunities. 2. We are updating the dignityincare website - making it more user friendly, accessible along with improving connectivity between champions. 3. We will be holding a conference on 14th October - wheels are in motion to bring this to fruition. 4 We are looking at a bringing together a dignity audit tool. 5. We will be making more resources available e.g. ten challenges card - wrist bands as well as badges.

Hi Jan,

I hope you manage to get charitable status.

I also hope that when you update the website (and I like the idea of increased connectivity between champions) that you leave the existing links (the urls) to the individual existing discussions unchanged ?
