SUCCESS

The ‘tool kits’ have gone live and are a success. I used mine to visit the hospital this week and although i had in the past had my own kit, the new bags were a huge hit. Alot of people commented on them and as a result it looked more professional. And when i spoke to families they were making a note of the number for the helpline purely off the bag.

Also this week we had our advertisement turn up in the local press - advertising us, the picnic next week, and how to contact me for details of becoming a peer! Very pleased! I thought this wasn’t going to happen as I hadn’t had any contact back. So now we have advertised via press, internet and fliers.

And excellent news that ThinkPublic are going to help us to produce our posters using some of their designers, so the fee’s will drop dramatically, which is a great help as until the constitution is finalised we cannot apply for more budget than we have with the winning fees, and we want that to go as far a possible. Already it is making a huge difference to our service.

I think along this journey we are learning so much about how we can improve the services image aswell as the other ways we are able to bring in new volunteers. All the publicity is certainly making an impact, lets wait and see how the pucnic goes next week….
