Support the 2010 Ampersand Walk - Join The Committee!



The 2009 Ampersand Walk was a great success, but it could never have happened without many many hours of hard work put in by our dedicated Walk team. Preparation for the event starts early in the year, and the hard work definitely pays off. Feel like you're up to the challenge? You will be making a massive difference to smaller community groups (who without our support would not be able to continue to do the work that they do!) and accomplish something so meaningful and worthwhile. If this sounds like something you would want to get involved in, we want to hear from you! Send your expressions of interest to info@ampersand.org.au with

'Ampersand Walk Team'

in the subject line.
