About this Publication
Addison's Disease Self Help Group newsletter, issue 87, March 2007
Welcome to the spring 2007 edition of the ADSHG newsletter. Spring is the time when the trustees are looking forward – both to the start of summertime and to the events of the year ahead – and back at our activities over the previous 12 months. This issue contains a four page supplement with the group’s Annual Report to the Charity Commission, outlining our activities in 2006. We hope you agree that we had some pleasing achievements in 2006, notably in raising medical awareness of our needs.
