We create spaces where community leaders, volunteers, social enterprises, and local changemakers can: • Connect with one another • Share stories, skills, and support • Build confidence and collaboration • Strengthen the wellbeing and resilience of Cornwall’s communities At our heart is a belief that relationships are the roots of strong, thriving places. This quarterly series brings together leaders of socially and environmentally driven businesses to reconnect with friends, make new contacts, and share inspiration. Each event is hosted in a different venue across Cornwall, showcasing the amazing places and people driving positive change.
