Helping Angels - Staffordshire - attend Autism Training
A huge thank you to all the staff from Helping Angels who attended the two days of Autism training. The venue was the (as always) rather brilliant Bridge Centre in Birches Head.
Lovely staff, with lovely ideas, empowering people in Staffordshire and delivering a fantastic service. It's always lovely when staff hover at the end of training to shake my hand and utter the immortal, 'best training ever.' Definitely adds to the 'thank goodness I went freelance' feeling.
