Helping at our office

If you live locally to Teddington, you are welcome to come and help out, either for a few hours a week or on a time specific project.  The list of things our office volunteers get involved in is endless.  From sending out patient information booklets, making up fundraising packs, carrying out research projects, to admin and accountancy.  There is something for everyone.  Contact Jo on 020 8973 0007 to discuss your availability and how you can help.
