It was a lively enterprise club last week with 9 start-ups and Linda Pearson of Massage Gurus. Find out what happened here.

Markets, the more the better! Read about more opportunities here.

Guest blog by Stephanie Mugo on our Timebank visit to Barkingside 21 coffee morning. Click here.

And not forgetting the Great Community Skills Swap on Friday 5th December in the Flirt cafe in Ley Street, Ilford. In addition to the activities on this flyer, we have recruited Yvonne Tomlinson to run a craft session to make a Christmas wreath from pom poms. Please just come for cup of tea and see whats happening but even better book in for one of the offers, or think of something you can do and let us know. Let's get the Timebank working and have fun!

We are recruiting for more volunteers - if you are interested in what we do and have spare time, please do get in touch.'

'Hope to see many of you at the enterprise lunchtime club tomorrow - Tuesday 25th November.

We will be hearing from local business woman Linda Pearson. She has been working in her alternative health business Massage Gurus for 8 years. Linda has managed to find regular contracts in the NHS and local schools for the staff and is willing to share how she did it! She comes from a finance background and can share tips on all aspects of running a small business. Thanks Linda!

Thanks to Wilson Chowdhry of AA Security who was the speaker last week. A bit of information here. Wilson had lots of advice but a key thing was the importance of belonging to the relevant professional bodies and knowing about regulations. More info here.

If you are interested in attending a big event at Olympia on starting a business information is here.'
