I really enjoyed the training! So much was jam packed into the day which was amazing, I learnt a lot about new software and outreach techniques, and it was great to see examples of previous campaigns and results to really see the difference made when implementing the things we were taught. A big thankyou to Gareth and Laura, they were great!
