Diversity, Wellbeing & Environment Calendar

November 2023

November is here and the nights are ‘drawing in’. After one of the warmest Octobers on record, will this month prove equally warm, all adding fuel to the fire that is the ‘Climate Change’ debate.

Weather aside, there are many things to keep an eye on this month and we’ve selected a few to highlight on our calendar below and via our social media channels. Topics include Anti-Bullying Week, World Children’s Day and Buy Nothing Day, so keep an eye out for all of our content.

Moving along and we are pleased to announce some additional dates to our GROW Academy schedule. Next up is ‘Time Management Techniques’, which gives us all an opportunity to pick up some great ways to be time efficient during the run up to Christmas. This really is a half day well spent, so to book a free place follow the link – Virtual Workshops – RHG (rhgconsult.co.uk)
