It is always great to hear about licensed partners who successfully raise the profile of Positively MAD in their areas, so we were delighted and thrilled to hear about the response that Gavin Scott received for his running of a recent ‘lunch and learn’ event at Bradford City Football Club.

Recently Positively MAD was asked to create bespoke training events for the ‘Right Now’ Foundation which works with at-risk children and rural teachers in India.
