Why do I need to watch these videos about the planet, animals and health?
These recordings will give us information and get us as close as possible, to experiencing some of the things that we fund.

Read MoreOrganising a training day and ensuring that all dietary requirements are catered for
Is there anything hugely difficult about organising an event if the venue provides catering?
I used to do some work for a local branch of the National Union of Teachers and one of the roles included organising training events. We provided a meal during training days and snacks for other events, such as, meetings after school.
