On the Table for Business

Join us ‘On the Table’ 

In partnership with the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), North East Chamber of Commerce (NEECC), and the Institute of Directors (IoD), this event is part of the Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland's On the Table  programme. 

On the Table is an initiative developed by the Community Foundation, supported by Newcastle Building Society, and is an invitation to join a conversation about addressing our areas’ challenges and opportunities. It runs alongside its Vital Signs reports which draw on statistics, research and local knowledge to highlight how philanthropy – the giving of money, time and expertise – can make the most difference to our region’s people and places. There will be over 100 different conversation events taking place across the North East over the coming months, and this event is aimed specifically at the business community.

The Vital Signs 2024 research covers ten essential themes and there is a separate summary report. Representatives from the Community Foundation will facilitate the event, with a particular focus on the economy and education findings. You can direct the conversation but talking points may include: What we can do to make the emerging opportunities in the region accessible to young people from the area? How can we help more people pursue vocational and entrepreneurial pathways? How can your employees engage in workforce development in the community?

The main event runs from 8.15am to 9.30am but there is time for networking before and after. Refreshments will be available throughout.

The event is in-person only.
