Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Social Traders has decided to revise the format of this workshop to enable online delivery at a later date. We are primarily concerned with the need to protect stakeholders and staff and will therefore avoid a face to face session. We will notify you of a revised date as soon as possible and if you are not able to attend that date, we will arrange for a refund of your registration fee.
