In 2023 the 4WardEverUK website will be undergoing a significant downsize in relation to its content and frequency of output, whilst retaining crucial archived resources. We will also be switching to a new hosting platform.

We envisage that this work will be completed sometime between January and February 2023 with the helpful assistance of our key partners, Naphtali Associates and First Stop Web Design.

So what happens now?

The existing website will continue functioning as normal, however we may not publish as much new content to the resources, information and case profile sections. We’ll continue publishing news of interest but from January 2023 much of this may be via our social media networks.
