A warm welcome to two new team members for Pinpoint in 2019!
Linda Green is former Pinpoint Trustee and spent fourteen years with Papworth Trust. She will be joining us as our Volunteer and Engagement Manager, working alongside new and old Pinpoint volunteers, ensuring parents voices continue to be heard, whilst engaging in activities to increase awareness in the wider community. Did we also mention she is Jonnie Peacock’s mum?!
Laura Potter has previously worked for Core Assets as an Independent Supporter and joins us as our new communications officer. She will be working on all things communication, increasing our reach to parents and carers, and also ensuring that parents and professionals work together and all voices are heard.
We look forward to working alongside them both in the future.
Ever thought of becoming a trustee for Pinpoint? Fancy getting involved and making a difference? Now could be your chance!
If this is of interest and you’d like more information about what’s involved, come and chat to a member of the Pinpoint team at the conference on 1st February 2019
Pinpoint needs you!!

Anyone with an interest can attend the EGM and the proposed new Constitution wording will follow the recommendations of the Charity Commission. To register your attendance and receive copies of the agenda and papers, please email the Chair of Trustees: chair@pinpoint-cambs.org.uk
