As in previous years, ALW provided excellent opportunities to publicise the ESF programme. For example:
The ESF Managing Authority worked closely with NIACE on all aspects of ALW, in particular how ESF support could be promoted most effectively. A highlight was the national award ceremony on 15 May at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London, where a number of awards were presented including those to the national ESF winners.
At a regional level, Government Office ESF teams and ESF Co-financing Organisations worked closely with NIACE on the selection of ESF award winners, the organisation of regional awards events and publicising the winners stories.
