@ReachVolunteer @GettingonBoard @YoungTrustees Thanks. We’ve done this already! Uploaded, searched and contacted people. Great service thank you. Please do help promote on social media too.

[Sarah Merrington @Slmerrington]

@haggarty_claire @orncgreenwich Yes please Clare. That would’ve great.

[Sarah Merrington @Slmerrington]

Help please! Have any VM colleagues got an assistant or apprenticeship JD for a volunteer coordinator position pls? We’ve been successful at Kickstart and I’m pulling together a JD. Thank you.

[Sarah Merrington @Slmerrington]

@BroomOwl Sorry to hear Andy. Trouble is with no base to go out to, end up finding it hard to step away.

[Sarah Merrington @Slmerrington]

@AdamDJanes Yes please Adam. That will definitely help. They are going to be doing a combined front of house and VC role so any examples will help. Could you please email [email protected]

[Sarah Merrington @Slmerrington]

@MsMandyJ And they seem to have increased in lock down! We’ve got an odd sock bucket. Every time anyone in the family manages to find the pair for one from there, we put £1 in a charity box. Boys really like it!

[Sarah Merrington @Slmerrington]

@haggarty_claire Yes with you totally. Had to reach out to friend and fellow #LoVols @crewennady to perk me up and simply share. Highly recommend a chat Claire with a colleague - it helps. Reach out if you need a sympathetic ear...

[Sarah Merrington @Slmerrington]

This is fantastic. So proud of my colleagues and friends @CPRE and their network of incredible local charities. Just shows that together we can be heard, we can make a difference, we can affect change. Campaigning at its best. ��️
