Growing your membership (with a focus on under 35s): Canterbury

It's the perfect time of year to start thinking about recruiting new members in time for the start of the autumn term.

Many groups have told us that they want to be able to recruit more members, and in particular, to engage better with younger people. Thanks to a legacy left to us by Pauline Thompson, we’ve been able to develop a bank of ideas that can help!

Come along and find out more about the research we’ve done, and how you can use it to help your group reach more people of all ages.
