Robot Dog - A Special Charity Fundraiser for the real Voice UK

We are delighted to be sponsoring a fundraiser for the excellent charity Voice UK (not to be confused with the less-than-charitable BBC TV series) - who work so hard to promote justice and well-being for vulnerable victims of abuse and crime, including victims of disability hate crime. It's even more exciting because we have teamed up with the artist Horace Panter (also bass player with The Specials) who has kindly donated a painting exclusively for the charity.

Horace creates icon inspired art - and this painting of a robot dog at the beach is a fun development on that theme.

We will be sponsoring the printing and packaging of greetings cards - which means that every penny spent on the cards will go direct to Voice UK: 100% of it! We have also framed the original painting and will be promoting an on-line auction to own the signed original - again every penny raised will go to Voice UK.

We hope to get the cards ready very soon and to begin the promotion for this great cause. And, of course, many thanks to Horace himself and Clare Milne, Director of Horace Panter Art for their free time and support. In the mean time why not check out Horace's new website: www.horacepanterart.com; or pledge support for Voice UK - www.voiceuk.org.uk - it's up to you!

We'll keep you posted!

Huge apology: masterclasses are cancelled

We were so looking forward to doing the write thing and putting on our writing masterclasses, but sadly we need to cancel the entire May programme. Sorry, but it has proved unavoidable. We will be looking at re-running most of the classes later in the year - and will keep you posted. Our sincere apologies to those of you who will now miss out, but we will be offering an extra discount as a "sorry" should you sign up for our re-scheduled programme.

We'll publish the new dates just as soon as we have them.

The second city - your first choice for our brilliant social care writing masterclasses!

At last: here are the final series of dates for our national tour of writing and recording masterclasses.  And we're in Birmingham. Venues to be announced, but given our director is a season ticket holder at Coventry City (for his sins, and they must be many) you can safely cross out Villa Park! Our dates for Birmingham are:

22 May 2012 - The Record Business

23 May 2012 – How to write a cracking summary 

23 May 2012 - How to write a cracking chronology 

24 May 2012 – Analysis made easy 

25 May 2012  – Writing the best court report - EVER! 

The Record Business is the foundation course - and while it is better if you can attend that first, it is not essential. Book now and see you there! Email us on office@rightthing.co.uk for the booking form. Or just call 01332 780 096. Or book through the site - you're here anyway!
