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!

***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. Liverpool if you live in or around the North-West). We will be announcing more locations in due course.
