Speed Networking goes down a storm!

On behalf of Harlow Voluntary Sector Forum and in response to feedback from local Voluntary Sector organisations regarding networking, Rainbow Services hosted a 'Speed Networking' event in October 2007 at The Study Centre in Harlow to enable voluntary sector representatives to meet and chat with our colleagues from the local statutory agencies.... Officers from Harlow District Council, Essex County Council, West Essex PCT and Essex Police rubbed shoulders with a variety of local voluntary and community groups.

The format of the event was based on the concept of Speed Dating, thereby enabling everyone involved to to meet and talk to as many people as possible.

Feedback from the event was very positive with comments including...

"The best thing about the Speed Networking was to meet people who were previously only email addresses!"
