Our collective mission is to champion equality and diversity in all forms, promote the protection and preservation of the environment and offer educational workshops providing life skills,communication techniques and creative arts for all. The event relies on sponsors like Lightning Fibre. We couldn’t deliver an event of this scale and quality without their financial help. They have committed a significant amount to Wyntercon, and we are extremely grateful to them for this support over the past five years.”
Rob Reaks added, “As well as providing a hyper fast, hyper reliable Full Fibre network for the community, we also engage with the communities we serve by supporting and attending local events. What attracted us to this particular event was its ‘inclusivity’; everyone is welcome. The event strapline says it all. We’re very much looking forward to the event in October.”
