The 'Friends of NHA' programme is now up and running. We are aware of a number of individuals and smaller companies who are sympathetic to the aims of the Association but who cannot support the cost of Corporate Membership. We are therefore launching a new initiative in the form of Friends of the National Handwriting Association for those who would like to offer support, whether on a one-off or continuing basis. The minimum donation is £30. Donors will be listed in the annual Journal of the Association and will receive an annual newsletter dedicated to keeping informed about the activities of the Association.
