EWB-UK: Volunteer to be part of Outreach Team

EWB-UK’s Outreach Programme is finally being coordinated at a national level and we are looking for keen members of the PN to get involved as National Volunteers. See the attachment or go here for more info on EWB-UK, the PN and Outreach

Would you be interested in either of the following?

1. On the 25^th and 26^th Jan we are holding an Outreach information gathering session in Nottingham where members from all branches will come along and share their thoughts on Outreach, get ideas of how better run Outreach projects and generally have a brill time with some wicked people. It would be great to get a couple of people to help arrange this day.

2. We are also looking for people who can help develop and coordinator the Outreach Programme on a national level. This would be up to the end of this year and possibly next (if you still are keen). It would include contributing towards the Outreach 5 year plan / strategy. Work would be spread out over the year and would include attending a strategy workshop in April.

If you are keen to get involved in either/both of these activities then please email Rob Cottrell (robert.cottrell@ewb-uk.org) or give him a ring on his mob 07748847632.
