SUMMARY:The King's Seeing is Believing Visit in Bristol\, 11 November  2026
DESCRIPTION:Led by Doug Brown\, Chief Executive Officer of Insurance\, Wealth & Retirement at Aviva\n\n\nThis is an in-person event. Attendance by invitation only. \nAudience\n• C-suite/Senior leaders \n\n\nBackground\nWe established a Pride of Place Board in Bristol in 2025\, on which Aviva is represented by Stuart Beaver\, Head of Social Action. The Bristol Pride of Place Board has set an initial focus on driving inclusive employment. In the short term\, this has involved supporting young people and adults by amplifying key education and employment programmes in Bristol. As the Bristol Pride of Place Board look ahead to establishing long-term strategic priorities\, a key focus is exploring how best to remove barriers to employment for people facing disadvantage\, as well as how to engage employers around the city to encourage inclusive employment practice.  \n \nHartcliffe & Withywood is likely to chosen as an initial area of  deep dive\, Located in South Bristol\, it is the most deprived ward in Bristol\, with nine LSOA’s (lower super output areas) in the top 10% most deprived nationally\, including two that rank in the top 1%. The ward has the lowest educational attainment rates alongside the highest rate of youth unemployment in the city. The Board have been collaborating closely with the local VCSE sector\, Bristol City Council\, and the West of England Combined Authority\, to ensure a coordinated approach\, combining short term action with a view to long term\, sustainable impact. \n \n\n\nAbout this event\nThis Seeing is Believing visit will offer a unique opportunity to hear directly from young people\, educators\, experts\, and employers about what’s working—and what isn’t—when it comes to preparing young people for the world of work. By engaging as leaders\, we can work together and with Business in the Community on implementing solutions so that every young person can see and seize a future in work. \n \n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nFor further information\, please reach out to The King’s Seeing is Believing team (SIB@bitc.org.uk)\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
