Celebrate better business in Oxfordshire at the Better Business Summer Meet Up & BBQ at Perch Eco Centre, Bicester on Tuesday 12th July 2022 from 5pm.

This informal event will help you explore the processes that businesses have gone through to increase their social impact, and give you a chance to hear their experiences, and ask questions.

There will be a whole host of businesses at different stages of their ‘better business’ journey. From those looking at options and ideas, some who are in the process of change and others who are thinking about their first steps such as whether to become a B Corp, create a mission statement or explore social enterprise.

There will be a showcase of local purposeful businesses where you can meet other like-minded founders, as well as a Better Business panel discussion and a Q&A to help you get inspired, and find ways to make changes within your own organisation.

Enjoy the Perch Eco Building outside space with a vegetarian feast from Elmsbrook’s Smokey Oak’s BBQ, drinks from Tap Social and ice cream from Vintage Wonder Ice Cream.
