Community Message

This is a Community Message from Aylesbury Watch Office on Tuesday 12 April 2011.

Community Impact Bucks has been contracted to work with voluntary and community groups in the region, mostly North Bucks, and the Chiltern area, to ensure that the message about the Digital Switchover is widely spread, so that people are not left without a TV signal.

We are currently looking for Community Volunteers and Community Supporters who will identify the 5% of the population who are classed as 'hard to reach'. They are generally those aged 75+, or people with learning and physical difficulties, who need extra support in their community. The scheme will ensure that they have the correct equipment, i.e. digi box, aerial etc so that they will continue to receive their TV signal after switchover.

Community Volunteers are invited to attend a training course on 10th May from 10.00 - 2.30, in Quainton, where they will receive full training and all the materials they require.

If you would like to know more about this volunteering opportunity please open the attachments below. If you have any questions, please contact Bridget Wythe, Community Impact Bucks on 01908 566438 or by email to bridget.wythe@communityimpactbucks.org.uk
