In May 2025, for our summer newsletter we made an update to our Marketing Consent. Supporters who had previously already opted in to receive the biannual newsletter were made aware that going forward this would be marked specifically as being opted in to receive a physical copy.
Anyone who wished to update their Consent Preferences was directed to do so at: https://archerproject.org.uk/keep-in-touch
If you have any questions regarding the above update, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at: contactus@archerproject.org.uk
In order to communicate the above update, and provide the opportunity to update Consent Preferences, all recipients of a print copy of Edition 42 of The Nest received an accompanying letter with the following message:
