New year update
I hope this posting finds you all well and your new year has begun happily. I haven’t been in touch for some time so thought I’d say hi and fill you in on what we have up to.
A great ending to 2011:
Before Christmas we had the pleasure of working with National Grid, delivering a bespoke training package to support the fantastic work of their Enabling Group. Feedback was great and National Grid’s commitment to disability equality is a true inspiration, we are looking forward to continuing our work with them in the Spring.
November also us spend a great afternoon training with Jewish Care; delightful, entertaining and positive as always.
Following this, we delivered our all new Managing Disabled Volunteers Training – new activities, content and course materials. We were really happy with how the day went and are pleased to be running this course again in London shortly. Read feedback from participants.
Looking forward:
We are working across all sectors now with our training courses, mystery shopping audits, individual consultancy and mentoring for disabled people and are set to keep growing throughout 2012!
Forthcoming training:
Back by popular demand, we will be running our next Managing Disabled Volunteers Training in London on Wednesday 28th March 2012 and are once again offering a great 25% discount for those of you who want to join us.
This training is for anyone thinking about, wanting to, or currently engaging disabled volunteers, offering a relaxed and friendly way to approach and address the elements of engaging disabled volunteers successfully in your organisation. Only £71.25 per person for voluntary sector organisations!
