Business and the Community: A Breakfast to Build Connections

A Free Networking Event for businesses and Third Sector organisations in the Royal Borough of Greenwich

Are you the leader of a social enterprise, a charity, a voluntary or community organisation or other ‘not-for-profit’ looking for new ideas or to share your experience?

Or, are you a business leader looking to do business with the 3rd sector, or for inspiration for your CSR or business model review?

Join us for a vibrant morning of inspiration, collaboration, and community spirit at this special ‘Business and the Community business breakfast’ celebrating Co-operative Fortnight.

This dynamic event brings together local leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to explore the power of networks, social enterprise, and community-driven business:

• Network with like-minded businesses and community enterprises
• Learn how your organisation can give back, grow stronger, and thrive by working hand-in-hand with the people at the heart of it all—our residents
• Discover how co-operative and mutual businesses are reshaping the local economy
• Hear how co-operative and community enterprises are developed and supported in the borough

• Explore the benefits of community links for your business

Our inspirational keynote speakers, including Gary Parker (of CNT Associates) and Claire Pritchard (of Greenwich Co-operative Development Agency), will share their insights and experiences on fostering community resilience and economic empowerment through co-operative models.

Expect lively discussions, meaningful connections, and a celebration of the incredible work being done across Greenwich to build a more inclusive, sustainable, and co-operative future.

Breakfast provided. Ideas served fresh.

You will also hear about the launch of the Council’s exciting Community Energy Fund (CEF), following a £1 million investment.
