CRY volunteers

 

CRY volunteers are vital when it comes to keeping on top of all the ongoing activities in the CRY office.

 

Volunteers Co-ordinator Wendy Wright has an excellent group of volunteers to support CRY's in-office activities, and they regularly help with mail shots (e.g. the CRY brochure mailshot), putting together packs of literature, keeping track of merchandise stocks and much more besides!

 

We are always interested in recruiting more CRY in-office volunteers, so if you would like to help us out and are willing travel to the CRY office in Tadworth, then please do contact the CRY office on 01737 363222 or alternatively e-mail wendy@c-r-y.org.uk

The CRY office is in Tadworth in Surrey, close to the Epsom Downs and Epsom Racecourse.  Click here for a local map showing CRY's location, and here for a regional map.

 

Want to help CRY but don't live near the CRY office?

 

To give you an idea of the kinds of tasks you might be involved in as a CRY in-office volunteer, here is a list of just some of the things the volunteers have done over the last few months:

  • Sticking address labels to envelopes for large CRY mailshots

  • Putting literature into envelopes for large CRY mailshots

  • Stamping the CRY address (with a hand stamp) onto supplies of envelopes in the CRY office

  • Filing

  • Making up packs of literature for CRY special events (e.g. Parliamentary Reception, conferences, etc)

  • Keeping track of levels of CRY stock (e.g. T-shirts, badges, etc)

  • Folding leaflets that have been printed in-house

  • Printing out / photocopying CRY literature

  • Proof-reading draft copies of CRY literature

  • Finding out information from the CRY database

  • Processing Christmas card orders

We welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities - please do get in touch if you would like to help!

We would like to thank the following people for the time that they have given to help out in the CRY office:

Jude Heather

CRY supporter Jude Heather has been busy phoning gyms, leisure centres and sports centres, and persuading them to display CRY leaflets, posters and parachute jump flyers.  She has been extremely successful, and in just a few short weeks we have sent out information to over 60 places contacted by Jude!  She has also hand-delivered leaflets and parachute jump flyers to a number of doctors' surgeries and pubs.  Well done Jude!

Volunteering out of the CRY office

If you would like to volunteer to help CRY but you do not live near the CRY office, then please do still contact us, as we will be able to pass on your details to your local CRY Representative.  From time to time, your local CRY Representative may then contact you to ask for your help with a specific event or initiative.  You can also do important voluntary work for CRY by organising your own awareness raising or fundraising events, or by distributing CRY leaflets and posters.

If you would like to help with CRY events such as the London Marathon, CRY Bridges Walk or Raising Awareness Week then please e-mail rebecca@c-r-y.org.uk
