Talk to a person.
Write, call, or simply come to something. Whichever is easiest for you.
Who gets in touch, and what happens next
Most people who write to us are doing one of four things: asking about joining, asking about a training, asking about the summer program for a child, or asking whether we can run an event for their organisation. Say which in the first line and it reaches the right person faster.
We reply within [n] working days. If it is urgent, ring rather than write. Nothing you send goes onto a mailing list unless you ask for that.
What to put in your message
You do not have to write much. These four things save us a round of questions and get you a useful answer first time:
- What you are asking about, in a few words
- Roughly when you need it by, if there is a date involved
- Where you are, if you are asking about coming to something
- How you would rather we reply, by phone or in writing
If writing is difficult, or English is not the language you are most comfortable in, ring us instead and we will work it out on the phone. That is not a lesser way of getting in touch.
What happens after you write
No form disappearing into a void. This is the whole sequence.
We read it and reply
Usually within [n] working days, from a named person rather than a shared inbox.
We ring you
Fifteen minutes, at a time that suits. We would rather understand what you actually need than guess from an email.
You get something concrete
Dates, a price, or an honest 'we are not the right people for this'.
Where we are
[Street address]
[Town], Ontario [postcode]
If getting to us is difficult, say so when you write. We can usually meet somewhere easier.
Who you are dealing with
Abamwe Women Company has been running events, trainings and summer programs from [town], Ontario since 2019. We are registered as [status], registration number [number].
If you want to speak to somebody before committing to anything, ask for Hildah on [phone]. She will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for what you need.
