Hazelhurst CSA Affiliations

Hazelhurst CSA > Affiliations

This is somewhere where we can gather a list of organisations that the co-op might want to consider affiliating to at a future members meeting. The intention is to add some more details about the organisations, like what their aims and objectives are, and to list the benefits that affiliating would offer.
