Networking with a Purpose

We’re inviting Cambridgeshire businesses, registered charities, social enterprises, and public sector partners to a fun evening to relax, engage in purposeful and impactful conversations, build and leverage networks, and explore ways to collaborate by both giving and receiving support for a greater purpose - all in a beautiful location overlooking the city, with great food and drinks.

What’s not to love?

Our award-winning events and the With Purpose Membership Network provide a space for sectors to more easily share their needs and skills, improve understanding of each other’s priorities, and connect to create sustainable cross-sector partnerships that drive social value and meaningful economic change for all. If you’re a business with something to offer your community, or a registered charity or social enterprise seeking skills, time, expertise, or financial support, this event is ideal for you.

Enjoy music, food, structured networking activities to share and offer, and a pre-Christmas winter gathering, all hosted on the stunning 6th floor of Botanic House at Mills & Reeve.

Due to anticipated high demand and to maintain sector balance, we ask that only 1 representative per organisation attend.

Please Note:

Due to anticipated high demand and to maintain sector balance, we ask that only 1 representative per organisation attend. Our award-winning events and community prioritise authentic connection, collaboration, and long-term relationships - a warm community with no pushy sales or awkward elevator pitches. This is about mutually beneficial partnerships and doing responsible business well. We match values, not just business cards but welcome the byproduct of business.  We ask attendees to join if they are ready to invest time in fostering partnerships and sharing resources for social good, and if they can effectively represent their organisation in these areas.

Things to Consider Before the Event:

• Businesses will be encouraged to consider how they can contribute through time, skills, knowledge, expertise, resources, or financial support.
• Registered non-profits will be encouraged to think about their needs from the business community and what they can offer in return.

Important Information:

• Priority booking and discounts for With Purpose Network members
• Only one representative per organisation due to high demand and sector balance—check that your team hasn’t already booked a ticket
• This is not a pitching event or sales opportunity - businesses are expected to attend with a genuine intent to collaborate and offer pro bono first 
• Open to those based in or working across Cambridgeshire (including Peterborough)
