‘It’s great to know I can turn to them if I need any business advice,’ says charity journalist

FORMER Liverpool Daily Post & Echo journalist Tom Dowling enlisted the support of Business Link when launching his publication, All Together Now!, aimed at people with disabilities and their families and friends.

The All Together Now! charity was set up three years ago to provide a specially tailored news service – both in print and online – for the growing numbers of people affected by disability and age.

The operation is now going from strength to strength and recently secured another major sponsor – NHS North West.

Dowling said: "Once I’d made the decision to launch a magazine, I had no idea where to start with the business side of things.

"My Business Link broker was very positive and enthusiastic from day one, and was always on hand to offer support and advice. Even now, it’s great to know I can turn to them if I need any business advice."
