TCF Awareness Week
How many times have we heard bereaved families say “I wish I'd known about you when my child/sibling/grandchild died”? We probably said it ourselves. To this end we are planning a TCF Awareness Week to raise the profile of TCF, and this will commence on 28 th January 2007, the anniversary of the founding of TCF.
Please try to make sure that your local radio stations and newspapers are aware of contacts and groups in your area, and perhaps organise events such as coffee mornings, pub quizzes etc when people can be told of the work we do. If you need any help with the right things to say to the media, please feel free to email Audrie Norris at media@tcf.org.uk and she will help you.
We are also looking for volunteers to deliver our information leaflet and posters to Hospitals, GP surgeries, Coroners, Funeral Directors, etc. In addition we aim to provide a TCF flyer for this occasion, which will be available from our TCF website, www.tcf.org.uk , and the national office.
