Business leaders from across the West of England are being encouraged to join a networking club organised by regional charity Children's Hospice South West (CHSW).
The charity, which runs three children’s hospices - Little Bridge House in North Devon, Charlton Farm in Bristol, and Little Harbour in Cornwall - launched its Business Club initiative in 2021 as a way for companies to stay connected during the pandemic.
Since it started, more than 150 members have joined forces to share ideas and raise awareness of their business at special networking events, while their support has also helped CHSW to continue providing vital hospice care for hundreds of local children and their families.

Tamara Downs, head of fundraising at Charlton Farm, said the charity hoped to reach out to even more businesses – big and small – in 2024.
She said: “As a regional charity, we partner with businesses of all sizes, from family run firms to national brands. If you join our Business Club you will have the chance to network and share ideas with this inspiring community of like-minded businesses. Members also benefit from coverage on CHSW’s social media channels and receive regular updates about how their support is making a difference.”
The cost to join for a year is less than £1 a day, with various member events throughout the year. The first event of 2024 will take place in Bristol on March 12 at Metro Bank in Broadmead from 2pm to 4pm. Other local events will be happening in 2024 on June 11, September 10 and November 12.
As a regional business club, regular events are also scheduled across Devon and Cornwall throughout the year for members.
