With many TEAM recruiters operating as ‘solopreneurs’ and relating to the loneliness and isolation too often experienced in the world today, the time to spend together is welcome and even allows the group to raise funds – as they did this year. TEAM raised £900 for UK confidential text-messaging service SHOUT UK, which serves anyone who is struggling to cope. Including the walk and a raffle, activities at the conference, held at in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, raised £3,150 for charity, smashing the original target of £1k.
