Join the Liberation Day Community

We would love to hear from anyone who may not normally take part in the day but is keen to join us. This could be anything from running a stall to performing or volunteering to be a marshal on the day. We want to continue bringing Guernsey together - supporting one another - on such an important day for the Bailiwick.
