Hello Everyone! I can hardly believe we are already into April and hurtling towards our Spring Break. It’s been an exciting year so far for the Karten Network with some incredible achievements in our Centres, I hope you enjoy and are inspired by the articles within this Newsletter.
Trustees met towards the end of March 2019 and awarded grants to a number of centres for additional equipment. There were some really interesting applications and it was good to see Virtual Reality featuring in two of them. A new Karten Centre was established at Boveridge College in Dorset, so I would like to extend a warm welcome to the Karten Network to them.

The 2019 TechAbility Conference will be held on 21st November at the Rowton Hotel in Birmingham. As part of a very full programme of events there will be a specific Karten Network slot and lots of opportunities to Network.
Coming soon ….
We are currently planning a series of pilot Karten Events for the people you support. More details to follow, but essentially they will be mini-conferences to enable Karten Centre beneficiaries to get together and share their experiences. The first event will be held on 12 June and will be hosted by Jewish Care.
Can the people you support be the public face of the Karten Network?
