My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People with a similar outlook and an interest in the creative, design and the charity sector.Volunteers and Supporters! What can you do to help Design Aid? There are a whole load of very simple things you can do to help Design Aid:Networking Tell everyone you know in the creative industry and charity sector about Design Aid in fact anyone Design Aid can help or anyone who can support Design Aid.Volunteering Ask us how you can give your time, resources and/or skills to Design Aid. As a voluntary organisation we need volunteers to help with the simplest of tasks through to project development and management to skilled creative work.Donations The smallest to the largest financial contributions are most welcome from £3 a month to a single donation (you can donate on the website) Design Aid's broad remit to support so many charity project leaves us out in the cold when it comes to funding and we don't get any! As a voluntary organisation Design Aid needs very little to cover costs so every penny is well spent.I would love to find projects and organisations that can make good use of the creative resources available at Design Aid as well as Volunteers and charity workers that can support Design Aid, or need Design Aid's support to help with their project.Would particularly like to meet a volunteer who can exploit the my Space Design Aid group on Design Aid's behalf to help us network, cause a stir, drive some traffic to our website etc. (same goes for Facebook and other social network websites).
