Helping others communicate with the voluntary sector

NCVS e-inform (weekly e-bulletin)

Information may be included in this e-bulletin at the request of other organisations provided that:

• NCVS agrees that the information will be of use or interest to NCVS members and others for whom this e-bulletin is intended

• an introductory statement of no more than two sentences is provided

• any related document can be made available via a link to a website (NCVS e-inform does not include attachments)

The Information Section is responsible for editorial control of NCVS e-inform and will consult with the Chief Executive or other relevant staff if there are any concerns about the inclusion of information at the request of an outside organisation.  Material which in our opinion is not sufficiently relevant to its target audience, is capable of giving offence or is a link to the newsletter of another organisation will not be included.  For further information please phone Deborah Hall on 0191 232 7445 or email her.

The prices include administration time, envelopes, labels and postage.

How to use the insert service

1. Send us a single copy of your insert for approval.  We reserve the right to refuse material for any reason, so do not send multiple copies until we've confirmed your booking

2. We will confirm that we can include your insert along with the price, the quantity needed to circulate with ncvs inform and the deadline for receiving these copies

3. Send us the multiple copies by the date agreed

4. We will distribute your material and invoice you

We will take a maximum of six inserts in each issue so including flyers will be at the discretion of Newcastle CVS.
