July: Connecting Croydon
We were delighted to host the Connecting Croydon event at our Croydon hub last week, bringing together the local business and charity community. It showcased the full potential of what networking events can be: creating connections between people who want to lift up their local peers and raising money for grassroots causes in the process.
If you're in charge of a local business network in Sussex or South London and seeking a venue for your event, get in touch with our team to discover the possibilities we have for you.
