Getting involved in CAEL

How to help CAEL day-to-day

Wanting to help and get involved with CAEL? There are a number of opportunities - if you'd like to find out more or chat through any of them pls contact helen.felton@cael.community:

- At present CAEL has a steering group of two people (Tim and Brian). This is a steering not a doing group (it doesn't have the time resources or capacity to do new activities). It helps steer and give direction for CAEL. Meetings are informal and fun - if you'd like to get involved and help in steering and being part of the 'face' of CAEL get in touch

- If you are more of a do-er and have a good idea for something you would like to see happen please do lead on it. Feel free to get in touch for any help in facilitating contacts/ asking for other volunteers

- If you are good at chatting with people and making links, would you like to help CAEL engage more with the community? You might have ideas on how to make this happen; and / or be happy to help keep regular contact and support with the school, church and relevant local groups to see how we can work together more
