COBSEO ANNOUNCES THE PUBLICATION OF ITS FIRST DIRECTORY OF MEMBERS
COBSEO, The Confederation of Service Charities, has published its 2011 directory or ‘handbook’ of Members. COBSEO currently comprises some 180 member organisations ranging from the larger charities, The Royal British Legion, SSAFA FH, Seafarers UK, ABF-The Soldiers Charity and the RAF Benevolent Fund, through the medium sized charities including St Dunstan’s’, BLESMA, Combat Stress, Help for Heroes, Forces Pension Society, Officers’ Association, Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity and Royal Air Forces Association to smaller charities and Regimental Associations.
This handbook is designed to be an easy and complete reference identifying COBSEO’s member organisations, contact details and scope of operation. It encapsulates what each member organisation does and the specific needs they cater for, in a clear page-per-organisation way. It is designed as a go-to guide and reference book.
The online version of the handbook can be found at http://www.cobseo.org.uk/our-members/member-organisations/ and there is a web-based search engine which enables users to easily search and access the handbook, using keywords or phrases. For example if an individual searches for help with housing, the search engine will provide those member service charities which could provide that specific help.
For further information, or to request a copy of the handbook (£5 including postage and packaging) please contact Sophie Lucas on 0845 504 6633 or email officemanager@cobseo.org.uk
For media enquiries, please contact Alice Farrow 07966 886180 (alice@just-alice.co.uk)
