Questionnaire on T3SC newsletters

It’s a new year and a new start for T3SC’s newsletters. I am the new Information and Marketing Worker at T3SC and would like to take the opportunity to find out more on how the Newsletters are used and if they are fulfilling their full potential. So we have put together a very brief questionnaire to see what you’d like to see in both the paper and E-newsletters? Do you get both the E-newsletter and the paper Newsletter? How are they useful?

If you can spare a few minutes to complete the questionnaire and email it to me with your thoughts and ideas I would really appreciate it. This is your chance to change the Newsletters to suit you! Thanks Hannah Powell

What do you think? Please contact Hannah Powell with your suggestions - did you find what you were looking for? Do you like the new look? How can we improve it? If you also find any broken links please contact Hannah and we will fix them ASAP. Thank you.

Branching Out’s funding success

Branching Out the young peoples Drug and Alcohol service has started the New Year with some good news.

Their bid to Comic Relief has been successful. This means that they have secured three years funding for an alcohol worker to be based within the service in Ashton centre. The role will mainly maintain clients who have difficulties with alcohol use.

The funding is a welcome boost to the project and they are very excited about starting a new piece of work.
