3. encourage new members and activists in PCS by offering them access to experienced lay reps’ expertise and support, influence in debate and a vote on the organisation's policies
4. try to be anti-sectarian in working with other democratic organisations and members of political parties whose aims are not in conflict with those of PCS
5. encourage a new, younger and more diverse
   range of representatives

We will:
