SUMMARY:Resilient Business Networks Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join our launch to hear about the critical role of business networks in strengthening community resilience and the next steps.\n\n\nThis is an online event. \nBackground\nThrough our partnership with Greater London Authority’s Resilience Unit\, Business in the Community (BITC) is pleased to launch an insightful report into the critical role of business networks in strengthening community resilience and the opportunity for deeper engagement with Local Resilience Forums (LRF’s). \nWhile businesses are essential in emergency preparedness and response\, their involvement has been hindered by low awareness\, resource limitations and competing priorities. This study identifies key opportunities to integrate businesses into resilience planning and equip them with the tools needed to be proactive contributors to the ‘whole of society’ approach to resilience set out in the UK Government resilience framework. \n\n\nAbout the event\nBITC\, alongside Greater London Authority’s Resilience Unit\, will be presenting the findings and recmomendations from the report. The five focus areas will be sharing their next steps for their localities. \nEvent 10:30-11:30am \nThere will be also be a Q&A at the end \n\n\nContact details\n\nContact programmes@bitc.org.uk for further information and questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.

SUMMARY:Let's Care Together - Programme Introduction (for Employers)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is for employers  and wellbeing leads to introduce our new virtual befriending initiative to support carer’s wellbeing.\n\n\nAudience \nThis virtual event is open to employers\, wellbeing leads and employee carer networks. \nBackground \nBusiness in the Community (BITC) and leading healthcare provider Simplyhealth\, have come together to co-create the Let’s Care Together programme. \nResearch shows that unpaid carers have worse wellbeing outcomes than non-carers\, and are likely to be time-poor due to their caring responsibilities*. The programme aims to support carers by streamlining access to resources and providing practical support across the four pillars of wellbeing: Physical\, Mental\, Social and Financial. This support will include helping people with caring responsibilities to connect with friends and family\, community groups and wider support\, find wellbeing information and gain financial confidence. \nOur volunteer befrienders will work on a one-to-one basis with each carer on one or all of the following\, depending on their preference: ​ \n\nIncreasing connection to their local community\, improving overall social wellbeing and reducing any feelings of isolation. ​\nSupporting financial independence and knowledge of financial tools/support available.​\nAccess to practical support and tools for their physical wellbeing. ​\nBeing a regular listening ear and friendly face to offer support and guidance.​\n\nAbout this event\nIn this webinar you will learn how our Let’s Care Together programme can support unpaid carers (over 18) with their wellbeing\, through pairing them with an online befriender. \nJoin this session to learn more about how your beneficiaries\, or colleagues with caring responsibilities could benefit from the programme. \nSpeakers \nUsha Manojkanth – BITC Programme Manager \nSimon Walters – BITC Programme Manager \nMichelle Brannen – BITC Programme Manager \n \nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nEmail care@bitc.org.uk\, for any further questions\nPlease hold the date in your diary\nThe session will take place on Teams\nJoining instructions will be sent before the event\n\nAbout Business in the Community \nBusiness in the Community is the largest and longest-established movement dedicated to responsible business in the UK\, formed in 1982 and with HM The King as our Royal Founding Patron.
