Phone line

Unfortunately, we are a small team, working remotely and often irregular hours, and do not currently have the resources to support a phone line.  This is something that we review regularly, as we understand that for some people, it is much easier to be able to talk to someone.  

For the time-being, we ask for your understanding in contacting us by email or through our online forms, which also gives us a helpful record of your enquiry.  Please note that any phone numbers you find 'linked' to the charity as part of an online search are staff personal phone numbers and should not be used for ADSHG enquiries.

Timescales

Again, as a small team, and as some of our enquiries are managed by volunteers, we are not always able to respond quickly, especially when we have staff on leave. 

We will always aim to respond within 5 working days for membership, shop and general enquiries, including feedback and complaints.  For other forms of enquiry, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding
