Forms, handbooks, and a small printed history.
A short shelf of printed material — the forms you might want for a standing order or Gift Aid, the handbook we give every new volunteer, our patient-facing comforts list, and a slim history of the Friends written for the fiftieth anniversary in 2018. All are free to download; all are also available on paper from the office.
