We are looking for volunteers to help with our education programme (we will need clearance from the Criminal Records Office for this), Fundraising and some assistants in the gymnasium. If you or your family would like to give some voluntary time, please contact us on 01772 717147. We will be out with the trailer display, promoting our work and raising funds. We simply can not function without volunteer help. If you can spare some time (it need not be all day, just a few hours) contact Bridgette Almond on 01772 717147 or e mail Bridgette@heartbeat-nwcc.org.uk.
