Welcome to the ‘2011 is Here’ edition of our fortnightly newsletter
2011 sees the start of a new phase for the Mowgli Foundation that will build on the successes of last year including the fabulous relationships we developed with other organisations and the many events both internal and external we were privileged to have been involved in. As a result of these great foundations we can only become better at what we do.
The staff team are currently developing the programme for the coming twelve months and you can be certain that there will be plenty of opportunity to take part and get involved in the mentoring programme, whether you are a potential mentor or an entrepreneur seeking help.
To support all of this activity we also have a brand new website to compliment our development and there are some very exciting plans currently being actioned to make it even more useful and supportive for our readers. More on these as the coming weeks and months progress though. For now though, you’ll find it all at www.mowgli.org.uk and why not let us know what you think, we’re always grateful for feedback.
