Earlier this month, Create partnered with Brown-Forman to host an inspiring presentation and networking event focused on Building Charitable Partnerships. The evening brought together corporate partners, charity representatives and like-minded professionals to explore how meaningful collaborations can create lasting social impact.
Held in Brown-Forman’s wonderful space, the event was hosted by Karen Bendell, Create’s Head of Corporate Development & Marketing. Guests enjoyed delicious cocktails and food, generously provided by Brown-Forman, while engaging in thought-provoking discussions about the power of corporate-charity partnerships.
The evening featured insightful talks from Izzy Hardy (Senior Operations Specialist, Brown-Forman); Alice Dias (CEO, Carers’ Hub Lambeth); and Abi (Create Youth Ambassador) in conversation with our CEO, Nicky Goulder MBE. Each shared their unique perspectives on the transformative impact of the creative arts, the role business can play in supporting vulnerable communities, and the role charity can play in enabling companies to meet their Responsible Business objectives. Their words resonated with attendees, sparking dynamic conversations and fresh ideas for collaboration.
As the night drew to a close, one thing was clear – strong partnerships between charities and businesses have the power to change lives. We are deeply grateful to Brown-Forman for hosting this event and to everyone who attended for making it such a success.
We look forward to continuing these conversations and fostering even more impactful collaborations in the future!
