<p>As we look to expand the charity we are planning to issue a periodic Newsletter to our supporters, customers and volunteers. To ensure data privacy laws are observed we will be managing this through an external provider, HubSpot.  You will also have the opportunity to opt in to offers, promotions and volunteer information.  Any existing customers who gave their permission through the Fareharbor booking system will automatically receive this and do not need to sign up.  If you didn&#8217;t tick the box to give us permission to contact, you you&#8217;ll need to sign up.</p>



<p>We will aim to do this monthly starting shortly.  If you would like to receive this then please sign up today using the button below, we just need your name an email address.  You will of course have the option to Unsubscribe or manage your preferences at anytime.</p>
