A WARRINGTON-based charity has joined froces with a PR agency to create a joint apprenticeship to mark National Apprentice Week.
Deafness Support Network (DSN), of Wilson Patten Street, and Chester agency de Winter PR have appointed their first apprentice, Hayley Griffiths, 18, as office and fundraising assistant.

“This is a really exciting collaboration and we’re thrilled to be working alongside de Winter to provide a young person with a varied and unique role.”
Hayley will train for the role with the support of West Cheshire College as part of the apprenticeship scheme.
