Charity Aid needs your help!

We are very keen to find drivers who can use their own vehicles to take people and/or buckets, banners etc to town centres – mostly on Saturdays and/or Sundays. These drivers will be paid expenses.

We are also desperate to recruit singers/buskers who we will pay expenses to perform in the street at daytime gigs, in Northern England.

If you can’t do it maybe you know someone who can so please get them to contact us.  They could be keen amateurs or retired club singers.  We have gear so they don’t have to bring anything unless they want to.
