The Chairman - Rod Black
Our
son, Chris, was diagnosed in October 1977 at the age of six months, it took
us some time to get over the initial shock, especially as we were told to basically
put our son in a home and forget about him.
Following a lack of advice and support I was determined to find ways of trying
to improve the quality of life for both my son and other sufferers and their
families. My breakthrough came completely out of the blue, when the Co-ordinator
from the main Kent society phoned me and asked that I consider joining the local
group as their new Chairman.
From those early days drastic changes were implemented, and what has been achieved
is fantastic, especially with all the services we now provide, with our Conductive
Education being the ethos of our work with Disabled children. So it is a tribute
to all the Trustees, Members, Staff, and Volunteers, Sponsors and Parents who
have supported me in my efforts over the years, in helping to create the organisation
we currently are.
However, my team and I must constantly look to the future and for ways of ensuring
our organisation can continue its ground breaking work. As a charity we must
grow and look for additional funding and support as we progress. I need to be
able to offer improved benefits to those organisations who offer their support
to us.
With this in mind I have enrolled the support of MBS IT Services who came to
our rescue when we suffered a break in back in 2007. They have totally streamlined
our I.T systems and provided us with a powerful tool for going forward. In addition
they have created this new website you are currently viewing designed to both
generate increased revenue and help support those originations that help us.
With a new image and a stronger commercial presence we can now look forward
to a healthy future.
All those people and businesses who have helped us to date will remain just
as important to us and it is their efforts that have got us this far. It is
for this reason that we need to grow so that their efforts are not in vain.
Thank for your continued support
Rod Black - Chairman CPC
