We spent a day at the beach with Aiden and his surf school business Aloha Kakou. Aiden has cystic fibrosis and is also autistic. He received a Helen Barrett Bright Ideas Award in 2024 to fund his idea. Watch the video to discover how self-employment has helped Aiden to find fulfilling employment helping others, whilst also doing the thing he loves.
We were lucky enough to have digital agency Future Mantis host a fantastic webinar for us on marketing for small business which took place on Friday 2nd August 2024. If you missed the session or would like to re-watch their presentation, you can view a pre-recorded version of their webinar here. This content is ideal for anyone who is considering applying for this year's Helen Barrett Bright Ideas Award and anyone else within the CF community who is looking to build a following for their business or channel.
