Consumer's Focus Scotland's Network
Saturday 9th May 2009
We are currently looking for new volunteers in your area to join a Scotland-wide panel to ensure that the voice of local consumers is heard.
Consumer Focus Scotland’s Network gathers the views of volunteers from across the country on a range of subjects as diverse as access to NHS dental services, the effect of the smoking ban and shopping habits. The information collected is used to inform policy and research for Scotland’s foremost consumer organisation.
I would like to encourage more people from rural areas to get involved in the Network, so that the needs and experiences of the local community can be properly heard. Volunteers who feed information in through our Consumer Network provide a hugely valuable service by ensuring that we get as complete a picture as possible of the problems and issues that people in Scotland’s many and diverse communities are facing every day.
It is a home-based opportunity - there are no qualifications or preconditions for being a volunteer and although the time commitment is relatively small, the benefits for the Consumer Focus Scotland of knowing that we are reflecting the real experiences of people across the country, are huge.
Please contact me if you would like any further information.
