This SundayLP Partner Jonathon Chaddand a family team of 5 others will be running the Bungay Black Dog half marathon to raise money for the East Coast Hospice. This charitable trust has secured land at Gorleston to build a 10 bed hospice which is now moving forward to the planning consent stage. This is a very worthwhile charity and I hope you will feel able to give it your support. In addition to inpatient end of life provision the Hospice will provide facilities for families to stay with patients and specialist palliative day care, alternative therapies, outreach homecare and educational training for those involved in the nursing profession.
We are aiming to get the whole team of runners to complete the circular course of 13 miles from Bungay to Beccles and back in an average of under 2 hrs and I hope that your support will motivate us to achieve that.
Differences between individuals at work can lead to lack of focus on the job, grievances, absences, loss of valuable employees and sometimes Employment Tribunal claims. The cost in terms of time, money and stress on managers and employees is considerable. Mediators work with those in conflict to help them find and agree their own solutions. This training course is accredited by NCFE, a trusted and recognised awarding organisation, so the certificate gained meets a consistent standard. The training and delegate assessment are externally verified by NCFE and quality assured. Successful learners will be awarded the Acas Certificate in Internal Workplace Mediation. Delegates are assessed through their performance in role play activity on the course and by their written responses to 6 questions based on the five units of the course. Responses must be sent to their tutor no later than 6 weeks after receiving the questions. Get more information on this course.
Suitable For
Managers at all levels, Human Resource professionals, In-company lawyers, employees, employee representatives and anyone interested in managing conflict more effectively in their workplace.

Programme

Sprowston High School will be our first Your Future careers event in 2016. We have been listening to their Young Chamber team as well as the teachers to hear what their school would like the event to be.
We are aiming the event at Years 10-13. The school are also keen to ensure we can have some activities which enthuse some of their target improvement demographics such as middle ability boys.
We are delivering the following activities:
Speed networking: bringing the Chamber’s expertise at business networking directly into schools. Small groups of students will have 3 mins with each business person, and rotate around the room until they have met each business! We will be encouraging students to break the ice by guessing the person’s job, and then give them an opportunity to ask more detailed questions.
Exhibition: in their sports hall we can offer interactive ‘have a go’ activities.
Workshops: we are currently developing sessions that will link in with their timetabled subjects such as science, maths and English. These will also show how these core skills can lead to a variety of different career paths.
Sign up to the ‘Find an Apprenticeship’ website to help students find these opportunities.
