Help! New Office - Volunteers Needed
Volunteers Needed - Decorators, donators, supportHelp needed! We collected the keys to our new office on Tuesday 27th and have a small 'grace' period before we move in. The offices are in need of a touch of paint so we need vounteers to decorate and renovate and donations of furniture, equipment, carpet and money. Is that all! Probably not but for now please help get us tidy. Once we are in we need volunteers for a couple of hours one morning a week on a rota basis to make sure the offices are occupied and encourage it to become a 'drop in' support centre, rather than just a repository for files etc. The office is on Park Road near Palatine Road. Further information will be added please call us if you can help.
