Hello,
First of all, an apology. I completely lost track of days while enjoying some downtime over the long weekend and forgot to send the newsletter on Monday.
New on SussexDigital: Grow & Learn
We’ve added a new Grow & Learn section to SussexDigital, bringing together useful support for people working in digital, creative and technology across the county.
It includes business support, training, funding routes, networks, accelerators and growth programmes, from local Growth Hubs and Brighton Chamber to programmes like Help to Grow: Management, Clean Growth UK and Lighthouse’s resources for young creatives.
The aim is simple: make it easier to find the support that already exists across Sussex, whether you’re freelancing, starting something new, growing a team, building skills or looking for the right organisation to speak to next.
Take a look here: https://sussex.digital/grow-and-learn/
And if you know a useful programme, provider, fund, network or learning opportunity that should be listed, please send it in so we can keep the directory growing.
