Be a leader in the campaign to save marriage

It seems likely that the next major vote in the House of Commons – the third reading – on the government's bill to allow same-sex marriage will take place towards the end of May. SPUC is looking for leaders to volunteer to co-ordinate local leafleting teams against this legislation. Please email johnsmeaton@spuc.org.uk if you can help. [John Smeaton, 28 March]
