From today for 2 weeks I am on holiday. Unfortunately I will be unable
to receive any phone calls or emails. Any problems during my holiday
will have to wait until my return on August the 7th. Please note
that it will be more reliable to email
me any problems so that my telco does not erase messages after a set
period and therefore before I receive them.
Today I have also
released the Financial Results for the year 2001-2002. These are
available in a MS Word file here.
This file is guaranteed to be virus free and does not use
any macros. If you are a current supporter or considering joining then
please have a look at the results. They are amazing and go to prove that
we do not take any money you raise for granted.

To help cut costs and improve efficiency a new section has been added to
the website. This part of the site is going to be used for all new
signups. This will be instead of sending a letter out to members. This
will improve costs because P&P is currently our largest over head.
Because of the information contained in this section it is not available
to the general public. If you are a member and have lost the link please
email me.

I am extremely pleased (and relieved) to announce that I now have a
new batch of our "Freepost" Envelopes! If you require some
more please email me at Supporter@cartridge-recycling.org.uk.
If you have been waiting for these - I am sorry for the delay and I
know it is about time they arrived but it is beyond my control on how
quick they take to deliver from the recycling company (and yes I
know 5 months is excessive!!!)

The NECF's newly founded management team today decided that all money
raised from now on will be built up in a fund before being donated in
bulk to all the relevant charities. This will allow us to donate more
to charity as our admin costs will be reduced and as we do not make a
personal profit or get wages, this increase in funding can be passed
directly onto the charities we support.

Today the North East Charities fund was informed of a new
redemption rate for our printer cartridges. The recycling
company concerned (Environmental Business Products)
assured me that even though point to cash values have
decreased by 10p per point the number of points given per
cartridge has risen. For new price values please see the Acceptable Cartridges Section.
