Party conferences 2009

21/09/2009 to 08/10/2009 : Bournemouth, Brighton, Manchester

This autumn saw us exhibiting with Busy Bee's Childcare Vouchers, soon to be Computershare Voucher Services, at Labour and Conservative party conferences.

We also participated alongside Age Concern and Help the Aged and Carers UK in successful fringe events at all three party conferences on the theme of 'Making social care the big election issue'.
