Free Trello workshop - Thursday 16th April at 10:30am.

If you’ve always wanted to know how to use Trello better, perhaps for social media content creation, organising your house or simply as a way of ranking the members of your favourite pop band (all real ways Rachel has used it in the past!) then you need to come along to our Trello Masterclass

Trello is a free, web-based project management and productivity tool that uses Kanban boards, and if none of that makes sense but you love a good list, planner or organisational system then definitely come along.

It’s completely free to attend and we’d love to have you there.
