We are sad to share that after 9.5 years, the wonderful Gill Thomas, will be leaving the Learning Network on 8th Sept to become the Training Programme Coordinator for @PlaceforHope.
The upside is that we still get to work with Gill developing our partnership with Place for Hope!

It's important to create honest, safe environments within our congregations. One way to achieve this is conflict transformation. Our L&D Officer, Gill can provide valuable guidance & support. Don't wait until it's too late to address problems and conflict. Get in touch with Gill!
