Please help us with our newsletter!

Monday 08 September 2025

We would be able to send out newsletters more often if we had the material to go into them – and if you are the Group Administrator for a registered group YOU can help with that by creating News items now and again to tell readers what your group has been doing. Please click here to get a link to our Volunteer Guide for Group Administrators. It explains how to set up a password, and then you can update the group description and details, create news items, events, and add photos. It’s easy to do! If you would like to do this but have any problems or questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
