Eight bids have been given the go-ahead to our first DWN mentoring project....

They range from different types of business advice to scriptwriting, camerawork and low carbon production.

Several of you have said you'd love to apply "next time" - so we'll do what we can to win more funds after this first round is completed.

In the meantime watch out for our next initiative. Ever heard of "stiletto bootcamps"? You may do soon!

Watch this space.
