to the overall and quick loading of pages.
Suggestions / comments
The pages need to be centered on the screen rather than riding along the left hand edge.
The main navigation is consistent 
except with JS disabled there is no navigation.
Your Make a difference pages;
The colors for navigation don't really make sense. Suggest using one or two, at the most three word description of what the page is about.
Your articles display differently from the main site. My first thought when viewing one was that I was taken to a different site. Glad that I was wrong. Suggest you make them match the rest of the site.
Why the drop-down link for your contact page? You could make it just like the forum link.
You have not declared a DocType, a DTD is important to help insure your pages display properly in all browsers.
You have the following code problems on the home page alone.
Code:

Make sure all your images have the alt attribute, alt="a short description of the image" in the image tag.
You need to identify the script used, script type="text/javascript"
Insure all tags are properly closed.

Thanks for this, really useful.
We did try to centre the pages but had all sorts of problems with the javascript menu and other parts of the pages not all aligning consistently. Perhaps sticking with HTML throughout would be simpler? Someone has suggested that the Javascript menu makes it difficult for search engines to navigate the site, not sure if this is correct?
Good point about the articles pages, the aim was to make them printer friendly. I understand that it's possible to set the pages up to print out differently to how they appear on the screen - will have to read up on that!
There was an extra link on the contact menu item which we have temporarily removed, as you say, it would be tidier if we got rid of the drop-down until it is added again.
And thanks for all the other points you make.
Regards,
Vince

Your welcome Vince,
With your navigation in JS the se's cannot read the links, resulting in not being able to find the other pages. The use of js to create the dropdown effect would be ok providing the links are still in html and se friendly.
For printing pages of your site, the easiest way to do this would be to have an external css stylesheet with styling for print. Take a look at my security site. I give the visitor the option for different colors as well as a print option. Feel free to look at the stylesheets and the page sources and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
