What's the time commitment and where?

This is a really flexible role as you can choose when you go out and about. We are looking for people who can dedicate just a few hours a month on a regular basis, or more should you wish.
Location:
You can decide the "patch" you'd like to focus on, however big or small. Publicity materials are usually collected from our office at the Lodge in Carshalton (Ecolocal, The Lodge, Honeywood Walk, Carshalton, SM5 3NX).
