You may have noticed something different about us! We have been working backstage for the past few months with our new friends from Happy Creative to develop our new look…but just because we look different, it doesn’t mean that our wonderful team and the support that we provide has changed! In fact, we’re still the same friendly bunch, we just have a new badge to wear!
We’d love for you to join us in celebrating and finding out more about us here at Aiming Higher.
Come and meet the team…there’ll be cake.
