South-East Network of Disabled People's Organisations (SENDPO) |
At SENDPO's members meeting on 29 July 2015 we will be discussing how SENDPO can best provide support to its member DPOs around the South-East. To help provide a starting point for that discussion, it would be helpful if you could spend about 15 minutes completing the following survey to give us some feedback and tell us about the current priorities for your organisation. |
You can either complete this survey online by noon on Monday, 27 July 2015, or Tehresa Hodge, SENDPO's Policy and Development Officer, will be happy to complete it with you over the phone or via Skype. If you have any questions, or you would like to arrange a time to complete the survey with Theresa, please e-mail her at theresa@sendpo.org or telephone her on 07967 622405. |
