Patron's Dinner (24/11/09)
Had our eighth and final Patron's dinner of the year this evening. These Chatham House Rule dinners are a great opportunity for our Patrons, Directors and invited guests to have wide ranging discussions with a variety of key regional and national figures.
Last evening was slightly different in that we had the new CEO of The Barrow Cadbury Trust, a trust that spends some 60% of its funding here in the region. Sara Llewellin was joned by two inspirational leaders of local social enterprises, John Street from Free @ Last and Nathan Dennis from 1st Class Youth Network.
All three were truly inspirational and I hope that some concreate support will come from the guests present.
The 2010 programme is already being developed and the first of the eight speakers for next year will be Stephen Hughes, CEO of Birmingham City Council.
