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.

SUMMARY:Norwich Vision Dinner - Shaping the Future Together
DESCRIPTION:Join business\, public and voluntary sector leaders in painting a picture of Norwich today and your hopes for its future.\n\n\nThis is an in-person event. \n\n\n\nAudience\nAttendance is by invitation only. Number of places is limited. \n\n\nAbout the event\nThis dinner will bring together Norwich’s key stakeholders and community leaders for an opportunity to hear about and share their views on the vision and the future of the city. \nOur work in Norwich harnesses the power of the Business in the Community (BITC) network\, combining our expertise in creating opportunities and driving place-based regeneration with the skills and resources of our members to make a meaningful impact on local communities. \nAttendees will be joined by a group of senior business leaders participating in The King’s Seeing is Believing Visit\, led by Jason Storah\, Chief Executive Officer\, UK&I\, General Insurance\, Aviva. \nThe visit will explore the interconnected challenges faced by Norwich’s communities and examine how businesses can play a pivotal role in fostering inclusive growth and opportunity for all. \n \n\n\nRefreshments\nLight refreshments followed by dinner \n\n\nAbout The King’s  Seeing is Believing Programme\nThe King’s  Seeing is Believing programme\, established in 1990 with His Majesty King Charles III as our Royal Founding Patron\, was born from a simple but powerful belief that the best way to close the gap between the boardroom and the community was to take business leaders out into the communities themselves. He understood that the power of the visits was not just in seeing and believing but also in how to turn that experience into ‘doing’. \nOver 25\,000 business leaders have taken part in visits\, each designed to show the unique contribution business can make when working in partnership with others on an issue or in a community. By thinking strategically about the implications for their business\, the visit gives a different understanding of the long-term impact and benefit that can be delivered for both business and communities. \nL earn more about The King’s Seeing in Believing Programme \n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact Diana Abad\, Engagement Manger\, for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
