IndyRef2 is coming soon – IT’S TIME TO GET STARTED

Remember the excitement of 2014? IndyRef2 is coming soon – IT’S TIME TO GET STARTED.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS. We need to do some door knocking to get vital voter data so we can be ready. No previous experience is needed – we’ll make sure you are fully prepped and kitted out – and if you haven’t done it before, we’ll pair you up with someone more experienced.

CAN YOU HELP? Whether you can give just an hour on a Saturday morning or help over several sessions, we want to hear from you!

Please email info@yesedinburghwest.info to volunteer, and we can get started!
