New Staff at Start in Salford

Add content to our new website
Now that our website is up and running we are planning a series of short workshops introducing the site and learning just how easy it is to create content. Initially this will be for the Start team/staff and later for members.
Keep an eye on the Start team/staff Forums for postings about sessions.
The development of the site and its success will depend upon updates and fresh content being added on a regular basis and is the perfect way of showing just how great the work is here at Start in Salford!
