Over the years, Wipers has been at the forefront of providing high-quality training and consultancy services to professionals working with young people. From specialist learning programs to impactful training workshops, our journey has been one of growth, dedication, and meaningful change. We are immensely proud of the work we have done to support practitioners, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to make a difference in the lives of young people.

Today, we are excited to announce a major new chapter in our journey. Wipers training and consultancy services have merged with an exciting new venture—The Learning & Development Hub (L&D Hub). This strategic move allows us to expand our reach, enhance our offerings, and continue delivering sector-leading training and support to professionals across multiple fields.

Introducing The Learning & Development Hub

The L&D Hub is a dynamic new organisation dedicated to professional development and education. With a strong commitment to supporting practitioners, the Hub offers a comprehensive range of e-learning and in-person courses, covering essential topics that directly impact the sector. In addition, the L&D Hub provides vital youth advocacy services and expert witness support, ensuring that young people’s voices are heard and professionals are equipped with the insights they need to serve them effectively.

A Bright Future for Practitioners and Young People

Our Managing Director, Sammy Odoi expressed his excitement about the merger “This is fantastic news! This collaboration strengthens our shared commitment to youth advocacy. Wipers will be among the key organisations supporting the Youth Voice services of the L&D Hub, ensuring that young people continue to have platforms to express themselves, influence policy, and drive change in their communities.”

Co-Director Valerie Vamanrav stated “We are incredibly excited about what this means for the future. This merger represents a powerful opportunity to build on our achievements, introduce new learning innovations, and support practitioners in ways that will truly make a difference.”
