COMPAID is taking part in a Volunteers Fair in Tunbridge Wells on Monday 1 June as part of Volunteers Week.
Volunteers are vital to our work, and support disabled people in our Activities Centre and through our Transport Service, as well as helping to raise funds through local events.
The Fair will take place on level 1 of the Royal Victoria Centre, by M&S, from 9am-1 pm. Staff from COMPAID will be on hand to explain about our various volunteering opportunities, so do come along to find out more.
There will also be information on volunteering for COMPAID at a special exhibition at the Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells from 1-5 June, and we will be holding a thank you coffee morning at our Activities Centre at Culverden Stadium at 11.00am on Wednesday 3 June.

COMPAID Trust has won a 2009 Heart of the Community award, thanks to all our friends and supporters who voted for us through the Courier Newspaper.
The awards were given out at a special event on Thursday 11 June, and we received a cheque for £500. We have also received very generous donations from the public towards our appeal, which will help to pay for new greetings card production equipment at our Activities Centre in Tunbridge Wells.
Thanks again to everyone who supported us, and look out for our new cards later this year.
