Join our branch Committee ...
These services could not be organised and maintained without the support of local members who have volunteered to serve on the branch committee. Offers of support are always welcome - as well as being fun, participation on the committee offers the chance for individuals to network, develop their skills and confidence. That way we all benefit!
If you would like to learn more about the work of the Committee or have any suggestions for future events please contact the relevant member of the committee, via the 'Contact Us' page.
