We need your help! December 5, 2011
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closedThank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate our 3rd birthday today, and all of you who have supported us since our first meet three years ago. This is now an appeal to all of you for your help in three areas!
1. Volunteers!
Due to other commitments and growing families, we are getting low on volunteers. We rely on our volunteers to keep the meets running. Without a team of volunteers, we simply couldn’t provide the service that we currently do. If you are interested in helping out, you do not need to have any specific experience. We can train you if you would like, but it would also be really helpful to have someone just to do the admin of sorting out hires and returns to free up our other volunteers to demonstrate how to use the slings. If you think you might be able to help, please email us our talk to one of us at our next meet.
2. Reviews
Our reviews section on here helps inform other parents when they are trying to choose a sling to buy or try out. Please do leave a brief review of any of the slings listed that you have tried – the more opinions the better! If you’d like to review a sling that isn’t listed, just email us and let us know.
3. Sling returns!
Please, please, please return your hired slings on time. Hired slings are due back between 12.45 and 1pm on the day of the meet. If you can’t make this time slot, you can drop them in to the Children’s Centre any time before the meet (if you left a cheque as deposit and would like it returned, please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with the sling, otherwise we will destroy it. If you left a cash deposit, please email us to arrange its return to you). We have many parents who come to our meets to try a specific sling or slings. If they are not returned on time, then they are not available for these parents, who have often travelled a fair distance, to try out. This is also the reason why we are reluctant to hire slings for more than one month at a time. Obviously we appreciate that there are occasions where unforeseen circumstances prevent you from returning a sling on time – in this case, we just ask that you let us know as soon as you are aware that there is a problem. We hope you understand that we are trying to make the slings available for as many people as possible to try, for as long as possible between the meets, and that you will support us in this.
