Dear Colleague,

I am writing to let you know that Pauline Ellison is taking voluntary redundancy and leaving SPPC at the end of August.  SPPC has needed to take difficult decisions and reduce staff numbers due to reductions in our income.

Pauline joined SPPC in January 2003. For 22 years she has been the bedrock upon which so much of SPPC’s work and achievements have stood.    Whether managing the production of SPPC publications, organising the endless calendar of constituency group and CPG meetings, running posters and exhibitions at conference and so much more, Pauline has brought rigorous organisation, meticulous attention to detail and kindness to all her work.  As a colleague she has been a calm and supportive presence, and we will all really miss her.

We are preparing a leaving card and if you would like to add your message please reply to this email with your words by 25th August and we’ll add them to the card. If you’d like to contribute to a gift for Pauline please use the “Make a Donation” button at the top right of SPPC’s home page.
