What a difference a day makes! See what Caroline did after spending a day with us – before and after (01 Mar 09)
Are we just full of hot air – or do our courses really make a difference? You may wonder – if so this will interest you
It would be a miracle if on a one day course you learnt everything you needed.
Well, here’s how Caroline Paul of Pentland Housing Association in Scotland completely changed her newsletter after attending How to Make a Success of Your Newsletter last Autumn

How to make your newsletter a success!
Well it is.
I am writing to thank you very much for a very successful training session. I attended the above event in Glasgow on 2 December 2008.
I came back to my work place and went through all Martin’s (the trainer) notes on the new process with the Chief Executive, who fully supported all my ideas from not only the look of the newsletter, but the approach we take preparing it. We now have a full editorial team!

Your sincerely
Caroline Paul
