The 2016 Network Events have been a great success. Despite the disappointing decision taken to cancel the events in the South West and North East due to very low numbers, the other 3 events were really positive. Many thanks to Queen Alexandra College (Birmingham), The New Bridge Group (Hollinwood Academy, Oldham) and Share Community (London) for providing excellent facilities for us to meet.
We are always keen to improve on the ways in which we engage with Centres across the Network. If you have any ideas for ways in which we can improve our events for next year please email dawn@karten-network.org.uk.
