Welcome to Voluntary Sector News

Welcome to CMY's new Voluntary Sector Newsletter. We hope this is helping to fill the gap left by the closure of the long running "Voluntary News" (which we used to subscribe to). While Voluntary News was produced weekly, we decided after careful consideration that to maintain a regular schedule with current resources, we would aim for newsletter production Monthly (on or near  30th of the month).  We are pleased to be continuing a valued service and hope you find it useful too!

If you would like to subscribe and receive this Newsletter regularly to your in box please go here and fill in the short sign up form.

If you have any information or stories you would like to be included in future issues please get in touch at office@community-matters.org.uk

Best wishes from all the team at CMY
