Ways 2 Work - Colchester

Jenny, Lynn and Rob attended the 'Ways 2 Work' Conference at Charter Hall, Colchester on 12th February.

A 5.00 am start saw us driving the oposite way to heavy traffic on the A12. Always a nice sight to see! We set up our stand and were soon ready for breakfast.

 

HUBB is signed up to the 'Mindful Employer' and this event saw it being launched accross Essex. We wanted to promote our training services, particularly the Mental Health First Aid and Recovery Star programmes and highlight being a signatory of the Mindful Employer.

After the launch of Mindful Employer the emphasis of the conference was on linking organisations to help those with disabilities into work.

Rob's interest in photography drew him to the stand of George Fossey. He has produced some beautiful photographic work and the two of them spent quite a while discussing all aspects of the subject. As Rob was leaving George said 'Have a picture!'. Rob was particularly humbled by this - no payment, just a coment from George that it is often better to give a gift to someone who appreciates it. A lovely philosphy!

Heres that photograph - a photograph, I believe, of graffiti in Paris. The texture realy helps the vibrant colours jump from the frame. We are now in the process of getting it framed and hung in our office. George's website is currently undergoing a revamp. As soon as we have the new link we will post it. There are some stunning images!
