Welcome to EXTEND's News and Events page
News and events had previously been covered by our annual publications of Prime Times and the Summer Bulletin (a yearly newsletter produced for qualified teachers). We also produce a bi-annual review for promotion and fundraising purposes.
The recession is inevitably putting pressure on charities and donations. The trustees felt that EXTEND could be 'greener' in certain areas by reducing it's carbon footprint and utilising the website more, whilst sharing information with a far greater audience. We are well aware that not everyone has access to the internet however, information will still be available direct from head office in hard copy format.
The trustees new approach to the website involved taking a fresh look at our image and embracing new technology available. This resulted in a decision to use the local services of Go Tech Solutions Ltd (who have for many years provided the IT support for the computers at Head Office), with the view to training the staff in website management.
No longer will we need to wait for that next publication to promote or publicise news and events. Now the opportunity lays in the hands of the EXTEND head office staff and the regional contacts; who will now be able to publish news far more easily than before.
We have already highlighted some fundraising events, research results by Helen Hawley and shared vital infomation regarding the Independent Safegarding Authority.
If you have a forthcoming event that you wish us to promote on this website then please contact Head Office with your ideas and suggestions.
