Dear Colleague

MR PAUL MALONEY BRANCH CHAIR BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICT BRANCH

Further to LTB 585/15 regarding Paul Maloney Branch Chair Birmingham and District Amal Branch, the Branch would like to express their gratitude for all donations received.

Paul is currently continuing his recovery at the Oswestry Orthopaedic Hospital and the Branch is hopeful that he will be transferred to a rehabilitation centre near Birmingham in the future.

Despite sustaining life threatening and changing injuries Paul is determined to resume his work as Branch Chair and the Birmingham Branch want to help Paul achieve his goal. If Paul is able to return to work he will need specialist equipment and changes to his work area, as well as physical adjustments to the building to meet his requirements. To this end the Branch has established a rehab fund to assist in facilitating Paul’s return to work.

Paul Kennedy Divisional Representative for the Midlands and member of the Birmingham and District Amal Branch will be undertaking a sponsored indoor triathlon on gym equipment in aid of the Paul Maloney Rehab Fund. This will consist of a 3 kilometre row, a 40 kilometre cycle and a 10 kilometre run on the treadmill. The triathlon will take place in the Conference Room of the Birmingham and District Amal Branch premises at 13.00 on Tuesday 29th March.

All donations are appreciated and can be made directly to the Birmingham District Amal Branch. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Birmingham District Amal Branch’ - please write on the back of the cheque ‘Paul Maloney Rehab Fund’.

Individual sponsorship forms are available from the Birmingham District Amal Branch and attached to this LTB.
