One of our Residents has brought to our attention that envelopes bearing the Pink Ribbon, usually denoting breast cancer charities, are regularly posted through letter boxes on the development.

However, there is some concern as to the authenticity of the organisation behind these collections. They purport to be raising money for breast screening in Lithuania – in itself, all fine and good. The question is the legitimacy of the operation. When you read the back of the envelope there is no mention of a charity, and the money raised from the sale of donations ends up in an organization registered in Lithuania.

You can click on the following two links to see a scan of each side of the envelope being distributed.

Envelope side one

Envelope side two

If you would like to do your own research do check out these links below and make up your own mind.  They will give you more information on compliance for companies/charities wanting to make collections as well as the views of councils in other areas.

Dear Residents,

I have just been checking the submissions to the new email list and would like to thank those of you who have filled in your name and email on the website Submit Box.

However, some of you have not responded to the automatic response from the autoresponder yet – this is what is known as a double opt-in process.  If you have signed up and not confirmed your registration please go to your email inbox and look for an email  asking you to confirm that it was really you that submitted your name – you just need to confirm, as it requests, then you will be able to receive email messages.  All a bit of a bind, I know, but once done it is done.

Thank you so much

Hi Everybody,

Welcome to the first post for this website built for the benefit of Residents of Trinity Mead.

The idea is to have a user-friendly website that is accessible to those who live on the development so that they can find groups who share common interests, make new friends, organise and join in events and share ideas.

It is very much an organic process so if there are items you would like to see, or new clubs mentioned on the site then please go to the Contact Us tab and send an email with your request.

You may also post your comments underneath these blogs – please make them as constructive as possible.

This website, and the Association itself, will only ever be as good as the content that you, the users, help to provide – so please – get creative and start thinking about what you would like.

Sian McDermott
