Kent Friends Group ?
Does anyone know if the Kent friends group still exists?
Have emailed twice as would like to help on any events they hold but not a peep back. Has that group folded ?

Great to hear you'd like to be involved - the Friends groups are volunteer-led and a great way to meet local supporters of Anthony Nolan and get involved in fundraising.
I've checked in with our community fundraising team about this as they help support the Friends Groups. Kent Friends of Anthony Nolan is still a friends group run by volunteers, but they are having a quieter period at the moment which may be why they haven't got back to you. If you're interested in fundraising in the local community, I could pass your details onto Nancy in our community fundraising team and she can speak to you about fundraising ideas and how she can support you, and let you know when Kent Friends starts organising their own fundraising again. Let me know what you think!
If anyone else wants to know about opportunities to get involved in Anthony Nolan's work, you can have a look on our website here http://anthonynolan.org/8-ways or email us volunteering@anthonynolan.org
Let me know if you have any questions and I hope that helps!

In the meantime, you could also look on this volunteer search website to see if there are local opportunities which suit what you're looking for at the moment: http://www.do-it.org.uk/
I wonder if other people on the forum have done volunteering activities and what they've enjoyed - it would be good to hear about other people's experiences too.
