At our September network meeting we had contributions from Good Employment Charter and Living Wage Foundation explaining how being accredited with these organisations can really benefit your business. Danny from FC United and Leonie from Winning Hearts and Minds gave us an update on how to support Big Coat Day. This is an initiative providing warm clothing, toys and toiletries to our local residents who need it most. During the networking part of the meeting, we had coffee tasting with James and Kieran from Heart and Graft Coffee.
We also said farewell to our outgoing Chair – Carol Bartram. Carol has been the driving force behind the network since it was set up and we thank her for all she has done for NMBN and wish her all the best for the future.
