Writing is an essential skill for everyone, and we do it from the minute we open our phones, laptops, or any device that we use to communicate. Most importantly we have to write well to communicate effectively at work. RLF are delivering a free workshop to help us express our thoughts and feelings in order to improve our confidence and quality of work. If you are writing emails, reports, case studies, or blogs, the workshop will boost your confidence, but most importantly will give you the chance to learn how to enjoy writing. Boost Your Writing Confidence – 18th September 2pm – 4.30pm (this will be a fun and interactive afternoon) This is a free face-to-face session at the One Colchester Community Hub. If you wish to book your place, please email: funding@community360.org.uk
