West of England Initiative Events

Members of The West of England Initiative have the opportunity to join us and meet fellow members through quarterly formal evening events and regular lunch briefings.

Initiative Evenings

Members meet formally four times a year in our quarterly evening meetings. These formal events are a great opportunity to collaborate with other influential organisations, listen to inspiring presentations from international dignitaries, and to discuss the latest policies and projects taking place in the city region.

Read 'round-ups' on our previous quarterly meetings.

Briefing Lunches

The Initiative also meets every month for briefing lunches which focus on key local issues in the region. These meetings are a great opportunity for businesses to get involved and express their views on key local and regional issues; views which can subsequently be represented by us at key strategic and local partnerships and Chamber Committees.

These main events are by invite only, however, we run and support a variety of open events throughout the region.

Bristol Giving Day Launch with Quartet Community Foundation

Bristol

Bristol is famous for many things – innovation, opportunity and passion – but side by side we have areas of deprivation and pockets of poverty where people struggle. We think that Bristol should be known for “inspiring generocity” so we’re backing the first ever Bristol Giving Day.

Join us at 8am for a delicious breakfast catered by local charity “Square Food Foundation” followed by distinguished speakers discussing:Is it time for a revolution in business generocity?
