The BEVA will be providing a crèche at its 2018 Congress.

BEVA president Jon Pycock said: “A significant number of BEVA members have young children and we want to make it as easy as possible for them to enjoy Congress without having to worry about making separate plans for childcare at home.”

BEVA Congress 2018 will take place at the ICC in central Birmingham from 12-15 September. For more information about the crèche and to reserve your child’s place, email Jocelyn@beva.org.uk or call 01638 723 558.
