From previous experience in another sphere of activity, I seem to recall 
that almost any MP can be 'sponsored', by almost any interest group, to 
varying degrees, from providing them with background information and 
research on subjects in which they have an interest, to providing funding 
for their own researchers. 

The approach would have to come from the Association, perhaps offering to 
meet to discuss what form the 'sponsorship' would take, or a 
straightforward offer of background research when he/she needs it. Try it 
and see, at the very least it may serve to increase awareness of the 
AFFS's existence!  (Should that be AFFS's or AFFS'?)
