Brighton e-learning firms step up to the plate for Children's Hospice Week

September 21st, Hove Park, Hove
Four of the UK's leading e-learning companies active in thriving New Media hub, the City of Brighton & Hove, will find themselves pitched against each other in tense competition this Sunday.
However it isn't a tender for a new corporate learning programme they will be contesting, but a rounders match. Close business competitors during the week, the four companies, Futuremedia Learning, Kineo, Brightwave and Capita Learning & Development, will be putting their differences aside in aid of raising funds for Chestnut Tree House, a children's hospice in Sussex, as part of Children's Hospice Week which runs from the 21 - 28 September, 2008.
The fundraising event, suggested by Andrea Miles, Managing Director of Futuremedia Learning, will run from 12.30pm - 5pm on Sunday September 21st at Hove Park, Hove, with the first game starting at 1.00pm.
Andrea commented, "e-Learning is a very competitive industry, and many of the companies we compete against are based in Brighton - but actually we all know each other and we get on really well away from the cut and thrust of business. I thought this was a great opportunity to do something fun together in a good cause. I was incredibly impressed when I saw the work Chestnut Tree House is doing with children. As a mother of three, I know the thought of one of your kids getting seriously ill is every parent's nightmare, but it's really reassuring to know that if something does happen, there are places like Chestnut Tree there to help."
