Hello <<First Name>>

I’m pleased to tell you about an event we’re hosting in Birmingham on Monday 20 May, Joining Forces: A showcase of community services and membership networks. This is a great opportunity to meet other like-minded organisations and speak to some of our partners about the support they offer and how they might be able to help your own organisation.

We’ll be joined by organisations such as; Locality, UK Men’s Sheds, National Trust and Smartlyte, with more to be confirmed closer to the time. They will all be available to talk to you about the work that they do - or if you just want to drop in to talk to us in the Network Team and have a look at what our partners are offering, we’d love to see you there.

Light refreshments will be available so why not pop in whenever it suits you and have a cuppa and a chat with our partners or a friendly member of our team.

Best wishes
Helen Milner OBE
Chief Executive
