New logo, posters and leaflets.

5 Jun 2013

Louise Barnes, daughter of Alan Butcher one of our drivers, is head of marketing at the firm of Wood Mackenzie in Edinburgh. She and her colleagues have very kindly redesigned our logo and letterhead. They have also designed the fantastic new leaflets and posters you will see going up shortly. We are very grateful for all the time and hard work they have put into this. The company generously paid for the first print run.

Easy Fundraising

2 Apr 2013

If you do internet shopping, you can give money to the Driving Force at no extra cost to yourself. Just go to ....

www.easyfundraising.org.uk and follow the instructions to register as a supporter of the Driving Force. You can find us easily by using the search engine on that site. They have a section called "find a cause" ... when you type The Driving Force into that section, you can be assured that we are the only one there with that name!

The site asks you to register with your email address and your own password. It literally takes a few seconds.

After that, every time you want to shop on Amazon, or any one of the hundreds of sites which are listed on easyfundraising site, we will receive a small donation, at no extra cost to you. Note that you must go to the easyfundraising site FIRST, and sign in, and THEN go to Amazon (or elsewhere), for us to get the donation.

Event: Bag Pack.

We are having a bag pack from 10-4 on 22nd June at Sainsbury’s, Denny. If you can help with this, if only for an hour, please contact Dr Bridget McCalister on 01324 812315. We would really appreciate it.

We're on Facebook!

5 Jan 2013

The Driving Force now has a Facebook page. It is easy to find on that website, by typing in the name of our charity to the search engine, with hyphens between the words - i.e. The-Driving-Force. Alternatively go to this link....

Our Facebook page.

In fact using the link takes you there more quickly, as you will see there are several "Driving Forces" already on Facebook. If you use the search engine, scroll down to see ours appearing about number 8 on the list ... hopefully you will recognise the logo of the happy smiling car.

It would help, if you are on Facebook, if you would go to our Driving Force page there, "like" it, and "share" with your Facebook friends. Regular users of Facebook will understand all of this language! This will raise our profile on the Facebook site.

Are you living with cancer?

Anybody with cancer who is registered at either Bonnybridge, Banknock, Denny Cross, or Carronbank Health Centre can use our drivers to take them to and from hospital appointments and treatment sessions for cancer
