Comments from delegates
“The e-mail marketing course was a very good use of our time, a refresher to all the things we should be considering every time we plan, design and analyse a campaign. Delivered in the usual 101 style, friendly and jargon free! An approach that strikes all the right chords with us.” Ben Handford, Naked Marketing
“As a newbie to email marketing, I found the course most useful in many ways. Including how to run a campaign and to get it noticed, how to put together the email in a way that won’t be spammed and will be engaging to customers. Thank you 101!” Kate Duffield, Pink Lizard

In this free series of workshops, we will introduce the methodology that can help you get to grips with how Lean can help drive productivity within your business.
COVID has created a new battlefield and a mental health crisis that particularly impacts on ex-military and their families who are in urgent need of mental health care.
Walking With The Wounded needs your action today to back our work with the NHS to support the hardest to reach.
This is one event you can still do. Serve those who served us and create some good news by doing a walk – walking home, or somewhere important to you, wherever you are, to raise funds. Anytime 10-20 Dec. The challenge is yours.
Help us overcome the new battlefield of the coronavirus and serve those who served us and are in need of urgent mental health care by walking home or somewhere important to you to raise vital funds. The more creative the better, anytime 10-20 December.
Walking Home For Christmas is Walking With The Wounded’s annual, nationwide walking challenge to support our work with the NHS – empowering ex-military and their families who are in a downward spiral due to poor mental health to thrive once more.
Over the past six years, thousands of people have done their own, memorable, solo and team walks – to say thank you. They’ve walked home, to a war memorial, to their old barracks, carried a Christmas tree to a friend. All manner of walks, getting out and showing support.
This year we’ve been locked down, but we can get up again, get out, embrace the spirit of Christmas and serve those who served us.
The coronavirus crisis has created huge challenges for us as a charity to be able to continue supporting ex-military and their families in need of urgent mental health support. But this event can be COVID-compliant. It will be rewarding, memorable, exhilarating and impactful.
The gritty reality is that your participation will help save jobs, homes and lives.
“I just can’t thank WWTW enough – you’ve changed my life and my family’s life. My role as a partner and father is now far better than I could ever have imagined. I felt a huge weight had been lifted. The nightmares and the sound of children screaming stopped.” Shaun, ex Grenadier Guard & WWTW beneficiary who served in Afghanistan.
That’s worth stepping out of your comfort zone for.
“In the Army you believe you’re invincible and that nothing is going to hurt you. But when you come out you realise you’re not Superman and that what can hurt you may well not be physical but might be something inside. It took a long time getting to the point where I admitted I needed to speak to somebody.” Duncan, ex Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, now back in work and able to buy his son presents.
They have walked in far more dangerous places for us so it is time for us to put in some serious social distance for them.
#WalkingHomeForChristmas.

Swarm Advanced Enterprise Skills Course (Apprentices/Trainees)
Our mission is to make your graduate trainees & apprentices more innovative, commercially aware and effective. That grows your business and secures their future by giving them the attitude to stand out and measure the difference they make in your organisation.
Our innovative training system in Enterprise & Business allows apprentices and existing employees develop entrepreneurial attitudes, recognise and even measure the impact they can have. It’s all about people accepting responsibility for influencing business performance and delivering a return on investment.
Inspired, motivated and empowered to make decisions, work can become more enjoyable, rewarding and even fun. We even provide an experienced business mentor, able to nurture the success you are striving to achieve.
The Advanced Enterprise course is delivered in a classroom environment but delivered in ways that can make more sense than traditional ‘chalk and talk’ sessions. It’s as much about doing, as it is about knowing. Understanding why, as well as what.
Specifically designed to add value to existing training programs/apprenticeships, the commitment needed is one full day training a month over 10 months.
Full day workshops include:
Swarm training can add relevance and meaning to any apprentice’s training, as well as for upskilling and inspiring your existing employees.
Swarm training is all about ‘can do; will do’. All you have to do is get in touch below. We can make it happen for you, your team and the future of you all.
Commitment needed: 1 full day a month over 10 months
When: First session starts December 10th

A love of the water, a chilled sundowner and a good old natter is what brought Liz and Katie together and has helped shape what Go Paddle is all about. Their paths to getting here have been wildly different but getting to meet new folk and share the pretty awesome Norfolk Broads by paddle is now what they do best.
What to wear
• As a general rule we say to dress for the weather. Quick drying clothes are the best (and avoid cottons/jeans as they can be uncomfortable when wet) If its chilly we have a small selection of wetsuits for hire. If you have your own wetsuit/rash vests – then bring them. • For your feet we suggest old footwear (ideally flip flops) to wear on the riverside.
Alternative dates
*We are doing everything we can to bring you this event in June by following government COVID guidelines. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic we may have to cancel this event at short notice if circumstances arise that are out of our control. Please also note that this event will be postponed should we have extremely bad weather conditions which will make this activity unsafe.
