Final Fridays Networking - Newcastle 29th May 2026

- A monthly, curated networking event designed to build long-term professional relationships.

4. Charity presentation (15–20 mins)

- A featured charity shares their mission, current priorities, and how others can support TBC.

5. Host venue presentation (15–20 mins)

8. General networking

- Return to conversation with fresh context from the talks; this is where collaborations tend to form.

- A friendly, calm room where people are there to connect properly, not “spray and pray” business cards.

- High-signal conversations because the audience skews senior and cross-sector.

- A community feel: you’ll see familiar faces month-to-month, which is the whole point (trust compounds).

- Practical takeaways from the presentations (ideas, contacts, introductions, partnership routes).

- Introductions that matter: it’s a strong environment for warm referrals and multi-party collaborations.
