group support - an introduction > how it works
how it works...
An announcement of a new group will be advertised around a specific subject area or location. If you are interested in becoming involved, you will be asked to send us an email saying so. We will then arrange an introductory phone appointment to discuss your charity and specific role within it, why you would like to join the group and what will be covered in the sessions in more detail. Assuming that all goes well, the details of the first session will be sent out and the group will be set to go!
