Did you attend our "Services to Success" event at Wakefield Town Hall in collaboration with Wakefield Council and The Ministry of Defence?

We learned about how veterans and reservists from our armed forces can offer skills and values to our businesses and how we can support them by signing the Armed Forces Covenant.

We were joined by the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, Ed Anderson CBE, the Home Secretary, Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP and MP for Wakefield & Rothwell, Simon Lightwood MP, and Wakefield Council's Armed Forces Champion Cllr Josie Pritchard along with representatives of our Armed Forces.

What a fantastic time we had at our December networking event!

Jenna of Fanfare Music had all the WAW members singing songs and having fun together. It was a joyous celebration filled with music, laughter, and a strong sense of community. 🎶

We would highly encourage other businesses to explore the power of music and laughter to bring their teams together. Jenna's workplace workshops are a great way to boost morale, enhance teamwork, and create unforgettable memories.

Check out Fanfare Music Wakefield's website for more information about workplace workshops.
