VoluntaryCommunity Durham Dale:  Just registered to Learning Exchange. Looks to be a great support for links between the VCS and schools/colleges. Worth checking out. (On Learning Exchange and VCS Hub Facebook wall)

Thanks for getting us set-up on the VCS Hub website; very efficient! VCS Hub member, Reading Matters.

Thank you … as usual very useful information... Victoria Asprey, 13 August 2011, 9:15pm on Feeling Stumped… forum – in response to an answer from Learning Exchange about Trust Schools.

The Learning Exchange has been an extremely useful tool for our team as we use the information and resources on a regular basis with our clusters of schools - and personally.  It keeps us up to date with what is going on with the world so we are always ahead of the game and are then able to plan and prepare for what is coming... Anne Harrison, Oldham Council.

The work that you did on our behalf was tremendous and really informative – your help was above and beyond the call of duty. Tony Giles, Assistant Headteacher

Some graphic feedback about the free training events...

Thank you so, so much for all your help yesterday locating documents for me at the last minute for my child consultation today. I read everything you sent me last night and found some very useful tips and ideas which I was able to use today.
Member, Claire Hallam

Despite my silence [on the Learning Exchange] I really appreciate the newsletters and read every one of them all the way through. The news and library gems have given me lots of useful information, ideas and good practice which I’ve used in my daily work.  I also regularly check the funding alerts and the website for specific information and resources. Your philosophical and unfailingly cheerful tone is always heartening and encouraging, especially for someone like me working mostly with headteachers who can be tired and downhearted when tackling new initiatives and facing budget difficulties.’  I look forward to your newsletter arriving in my inbox, even if I don’t read it until days later, I know it is there and will be a pleasure to read. (Email from Caroline Sheffield, Schools' Projects Co-ordinator, March and Chatteris Schools)

I love the style of the newsletter, lovely and friendly with a very human voice.
Member, Karen Bollan

Take care and thank you for all the regular updates.  In these times of "uncertainty" they certainly help to keep me on the straight and narrow… Member Nuvvy Sibia

I just wanted to say thank you for the work that you do and the good humoured way you create and put across all the wonderful gems in your email.  I apologise if I am a more silent member of the exchange than I could be - pressure of work and not [being] Facebook trained, so [I’m] uncomfortable with online forums etc. However, I have filled in your survey and alway highlight the excellent work that the Learning Exchange does whenever I can. Member Amanda Holland

At the Staffordshire University MA Leading Community Learning session on Saturday there was a very loud and supportive cheer for The Learning Exchange. Two Cluster Managers stated how it had really come into its own lately and found it really beneficial to them in their work and studies... Member Christina Broad

I met with a 4Children regional development manager last week who said that the Learning Exchange is very highly regarded across their team and with practitioners they work with. Member Dawn Gilderoy.

Thanks for this very informative service. Member Sandra Beeton
