Looking to create positive change and make a difference in your local community through your existing business?

Then you should join us for our Business Brunch taking place on Tuesday 15th October from 10.00am at Barnabas Safe & Sound NE, Morpeth.

Attendees will have the fantastic opportunity to hear more about new grants available to provide support to Northumberland Businesses, thanks to Northumberland Small Business Services (NSBS) and BIPC North East.

We have invited business owners from the local community to share their own powerful story of what it means to operate as a purpose led organisation including Hayley Brown from Barnabas Safe & Sound NE

Attendees will also meet BIPC North East’s Experts in Residence including Not-For-Profit And Purpose-Led Business Consultant and founder of JunctionPointUK Kate Duffy, who will be providing updates about surrounding support for social enterprises.

This is a great opportunity to bring like minded people from the local business community together to network, share stories, inspiration and explore the latest funding support applicable available within your area.

Who should come along?

Through these brunches, we are wanting to inspire those located in and around the Northumberland community who are thinking about starting, developing, or growing a social enterprise business.

As the name suggests, a delicious brunch will be provided by Barnabas Safe & Sound Charity.

We look forward to seeing you there!
