30 years since the John Schofield Trust was founded, we’ve announced a tour of the UK and Ireland, and you’re all invited!

The purpose of these events will be simple – to get local journalists in a room together and prove a career outside of London is very possible.

There will be career advice, a panel discussion from local journalists and networking over drinks and nibbles. We will also provide free headshots from a professional photographer if you want to update your LinkedIn!

Register to join us at the following locations:
– Sheffield, Thursday 2nd October – REGISTER
– Cardiff, Monday 27th October – REGISTER
– Liverpool, Thursday 13th November – REGISTER
– Falmouth, February 2026 – details to come
– Edinburgh, March 2026 – details to come
– Birmingham – details to come
– Dublin – details to come

***ALL JOURNALISTS ARE WELCOME – YOU DON’T NEED TO BE AFFILIATED TO THE JOHN SCHOFIELD TRUST, AND YOU CAN BRING ALONG COLLEAGUES ***

You should attend the event if you live or work in the region where the event is (e.g. Sheffield if you live in or around Yorkshire). We will be announcing more locations in due course.
