Marketing and Events

Keeping in touch with supporters and members of the Association and publicising our work in the local community is very important. We always need help with filling envelopes and delivering leaflets from door to door or from shop to shop. If you can help with this either regularly or occasionally, we would be delighted to hear from you. We also need help and support in designing marketing materials and organising other events.
