Our next network meeting will take place on Wednesday 3rd July 2024.

This event we are focusing on Mental Health & Wellbeing and are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker - Jordan Wylie MBE. 

Jordan is an award winning adventurer, Sunday Times bestselling author and one of the stars of Channel 4’s BAFTA nominated TV shows Hunted and Celebrity Hunted. The former British soldier from Blackpool, Lancashire has held the position of National Ambassador for the Army Cadets for the last 6 years. Jordan’s greatest passion is using adventure and the outdoors to support, encourage and inspire children and young people. In 2023, Jordan was appointed an MBE by HM King Charles III for voluntary services to education and charity. Jordan lives by his own mantra of “Be The Difference That Makes A Difference”. In his most recent adventure, Jordan completed an eco-triathlon from Pisa to Blackpool Tower raising money for Army Cadets whilst dedicating the expedition to the memory of Jordan Banks.

During the event, Jordan will share his own experiences of mental health and how he manages this with the outdoors, exercise, and purpose, and the crucial role business has with young people in increasing their resilience and confidence by providing opportunities.
