This time for our network meeting we are taking it back old school style! Back to our roots in Choice Support's meeting room where it all began back in 2017. The programme is still in production but I wanted to make sure we all got the date saved in the diary - you can expect interesting and inspiring work going across all 2000 (!!) of you. A fun and engaging mixture of presentations, practical stuff and discussion.
