John Sadler's recommendation of GPN

Jean-François’ network offers people from the LGBTQI+ community the opportunity to come together in a relaxed, informal setting to introduce themselves to other like-minded individuals. My own experience of it was that I was able to meet professionals, be they business owners of employed, some of whom I am still collaborating these days in my own business. The network switched online during the pandemic, not only continuing the service but providing people with company and support during the lockdown periods. Guest speakers are on hand to offer their guidance and experience in working in business. The network is the only such one that exists in London, and should be supported as much as possible.

 

Kind regards,

John Sadler

London Community Conversation

London is facing a historically high unemployment rate at a time of great uncertainty, with communities across the capital deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are working with the Mayor of London's Skills and Employment team to host a Community Conversation on Tuesday 24th August  to hear directly from Londoners. We would like to invite you to participate.

Our community conversation will involve discussing the future of employment and skills in London, including adult learning, such as classes, courses, training and other qualifications, can work better for Londoners.

Our community conversation will be held on Tuesday 24th August immediately after our usual GPN/GBA meeting so this is a packed full evening.
