E-learning firms step up to the plate for Children’s Hospice Week

Four Brighton-based e-learning companies 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.

The four companies, Futuremedia Learning, Kineo, Brightwave and Capita Learning & Development, will 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 Miles 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."
