It is good to know that I can always pick up the phone and I will be directed to the right answer or the right person.

This workshop has given me a whole new set of activities to do with my groups, plus tips and ideas.

It helps us stay in touch both professionally and personally with what is going on in the wider sector.

IOL gives national promotion and lobbying for our values that I can’t do on my own.

IOL represents the whole breadth of our sector and I am proud to be a part of it .
