In January, The Rank Foundation hosted three residential sessions for the new Time to Shine interns and their managers at the Midland Hotel, Morecambe. There were a number of close-calls with the weather forecast (plenty of snow and rain due!), but everyone arrived safely and appeared to enjoy the residential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year, the Time to Shine internship programme has been co-funded by Big Lottery<\/a>, Garfield Weston Foundation<\/a> and Jack Petchey Foundation<\/a>, so the groups were split accordingly to facilitate for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had arranged a tight schedule, packing in lots of activities and sessions for the interns and their managers to participate in together and also separately. This included film making with Vivid Echo<\/a> for the interns (you can watch these videos below), Nordic Walking with Matt Gibbs<\/a> for the managers, \u2018Four Seasons\u2019 profiling with Steve O\u2019Smotherly from \u2018Now that\u2019s Different\u2019<\/a> for all, and some group-introduction work for the interns and their managers to get to know each other, and get to know us at The Rank Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We were genuinely impressed at the enthusiasm, vigour and proactive nature of all of the interns, and we are excited to see what they will achieve over the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
