West Mercia Women's Aid has secured the support of key Shropshire business mentors at a recent 'Dragon's Den' style event in the county, designed to forge partnerships between local voluntary organisations and businesses.

WMWA Regional Programme Manager, Kerry Gibson-Yates, was joined by CRUSH Project Co-ordinator, Jemma Price, to pitch to five representatives from businesses representing a wide range of professional areas: Dyke Yaxley (Chartered Accountants), Muller Dairy, Zen Communications (Public Relations), Triangle HR (Human Resources) and PCB (Solicitors). They were delighted when four of the five dragons pledged their support, which would come in the form of expert advice and services.
