Welcome to another edition of the SPN Newsletter – Issue 41 –  for March 2024. As the financial year draws to a close, we want to acknowledge that we appreciate finances are difficult across all Boards (including ours), and we are working hard to make sure our new overarching strategy and subsequent workplans continue to work towards ambitious goals, while still being sensitive to time and resource pressures felt by everyone.

A Spotlight On … World Autism Acceptance Week!#

And remember, the clocks go forward on 31 March as part of Daylight Savings Time. Unless you’re like our Anne-Sophie, who just has her clocks display the wrong time for 6 months of the year… Just remember that not all countries switch to Daylight Saving Time on the same day (the majority of the US have already done this), and some countries don’t enact it at all! So if you have some Easter travels coming up, double check local times 🙂

Wishing you a lovely long weekend, we will see you in April!

Best wishes,

The SPN Team
