Do you enjoy our monthly e-newsletter?  Would you like to see it bigger and better?  Not counting our bloggers, there are only a few people volunteering their time to write all the articles on the e-newsletter and to do all the regular maintenance needed on the website.  If you have a few hours to spare a month, we could use your help.

Writing and websites not your thing? 

Well, we could use help in the planning and staffing of events or in helping us continue our work serving the parents and families of Brighton and Hove.

We are a friendly group that believes that you can have fun and still help others!
