CheeseGuardians
2010/2011

 
 
Background: CheeseGuardians are the group of volunteers and part-time staff that make Cheesekids work. They organise everything from the logistics of donation pickups and event transport, communications, recces of benefitiary spots, recordals, sponsorship and materials, fundraising, layout and design, programmes, partnerships.... in  a word: Everything!
The following fine young men and women are thus the heartbeat of Cheesekids... let's meet em
