How to help this charity (Additional information provided by charity)

We would particularly value people with experience of the planning process (architects / former planners) with the interest, and the time, to assist us in reviewing planning applications. We also appreciate being advised of actions being taken in the Reading area on Listed Buildings which may not have planning approval. We would like to increase our exposure to younger members of the community, any good ideas on how to do this to local colleges etc will be appreciated.
Donations always welcome but new members even more so. See website for contact details.
