World AIDS Day Week is a crucial time of year for Staffordshire Buddies. The majority of their public fundraising takes place over these days and your help in both attending and giving during this time is greatly appreciated. As you can see from the schedule opposite, many hours of hard unpaid work have gone into these events and there is something there for everyone. The details quoted are correct at the time of going to press, but please check with The World AIDS day Secretary, Craig Farnsworth on (01782) 744444 nearer the time for exact timings for the ones you wish to attend. Don't forget, many of the event organisers are still looking for volunteers to help them, so if you have some time, give Craig a ring and he'll put you in touch with them...

...most of all.......ENJOY YOURSELVES!!!
