Meet local business contacts and create lasting connections
Join other members from across the region for an evening of social networking. Social networking events are the perfect opportunity to meet other businesses in the area and make connections outside of working hours, all in a relaxed atmosphere.
Join us for a festive networking event supporting Grace Cares, our 2025 Charity of the Year. Grace Cares is a not-for-profit supporting older people and unpaid caregivers across our communities - rescuing care equipment from landfill, reducing loneliness, and offering hardship grants to those who need a helping hand.
Since launching, Grace Cares has supported around 3,000 people, delivered 44 community activities, awarded 16 hardship grants, and rehomed 3,500+ pieces of care equipment.
This Christmas, we’re inviting attendees to help share warmth and connection through three initiatives:
1. Festive Raffle – Fortnum & Mason “The Nice List” Hamper - kindly donated by The BOSS Partnership
- £5 per ticket
- Or 3 tickets for £10
Each ticket you buy helps Grace Cares reach older people and unpaid caregivers who may be facing a lonely or heavy winter. It’s a small act that brings light to someone who may be feeling unseen. You can buy yours now even if you’re unable to attend you will still be in the draw: https://grace-cares.com/donations/grace-cares-chamber-charity-festive-raffle/
2. Pay It Forwards – Give Someone a Christmas to Remember
A £35 donation will fund:
- A thoughtful Christmas gift
- A festive meal
- A drink
- Transportation for someone who would otherwise be alone or unable to celebrate
This is a gesture that reminds someone their community still cares. Here is the link to pay it forwards: https://grace-cares.com/donations/grace-cares-christmas-2025-26/ And as a thank you for paying it forwards, you’ll receive a free raffle ticket.
3. Handmade Scarves – £5 Donation
Elizabeth, one of Grace Cares’ cherished older tea party attendees, has lovingly hand-knitted a collection of beautiful scarves. She will be at the event in person, sharing her creations with pride and joy.
A £5 donation supports the Festive Cheer Campaign and you take home something made with warmth, craft, and heart.
This Christmas, be a good egg.
By supporting Grace Cares, you are choosing compassion – ensuring older people, lonely individuals, and exhausted unpaid caregivers feel valued, remembered, and part of their community.
Let’s make sure nobody feels forgotten at Christmas.
