You can make a difference too

Two generations of the Damm family, from Chelmsford, are involved in improving our service. Bradley, Jessica and their mum Tracy are on our Newsletter Editorial Panel. They are happy that we listen to their views and that they make a difference in creating this newsletter, which has over 8,000 readers. They can’t always come during the school term time, but like to have a say when we meet in the school holidays.
