Connect Reading are seeking a project for a team of 52 volunteers who work in Sales and Marketing for one day in the Spring. They would like to undertake some practical hands-on tasks that have a definite start and end to them. e.g. building something in a garden/re-painting offices etc. Even in a large group like this we would break them into work groups of around 10-12 and one of these groups can offer sales and marketing advice to the charity/community organisation or help you with an ongoing office task.
