During the months of October to December, we have had two interns from the University of Derby, Joanna (on Marketing) and Susan (on Project Management), working with us. They brought fresh energy and fresh pairs of eyes to all that we were doing. Joanna for example created the artwork for a series of flyers for Fiver for Wyver (including the one above); Susan has been building up a stronger information base on all that goes on up the Derwent Valley. This is essential information when we apply for big grants, where an incredible amount of detailed knowledge is needed to support an application. We wish Susan and Joanna well in their future endeavours.
