Igniting Summer - Changemaker Stories and BBQ
Event Information
Description
Stories, sunshine, songs and sausages - we've got it all going on at Igniting Summer!
We loved the buzz of last year's Igniting Summer event so much that we've decided to gather passionate people like you together for another afternoon of joy and creative thought. Summer is all about fun, sun and BBQs so we've asked the Midnight Bell for a second year to put on an amazing spread for us, against a backdrop of summer tunes.
We want to celebrate how far our changemakers have come, so we've invited a few of them to share their progress in a range of ways.
They are: acclaimed musician and mental health campaigner Miranda Arieh, Suman Kaur, winner of the BBC Big Painting Challenge 2017, independent advocate Dorothy Hodgkinson FRSA, Women’s Equality Party candidate Dr. Jean Laight FRSA and Shaun Connell from the Business Enterprise Fund.

Bring your curious, creative inner child to our Igniting Summer event to connect, share, eat - and to learn how you, too, can become part of our third Igniting Inspiration Awards in November. All genders are welcome and under 5s come free!

Your needs
Dietary needs
We work with the venue to ensure that we cater for your dietary needs and tastes, so if you're vegan, gluten or diary-intolerant, or have another specific need such as kosher or halal food, please let us know as soon as you can.
Accessibility
The venue has disabled access on the lower level, but we will need to know about any specific mobility needs. The charming Grade II listed venue is reputedly one of the oldest industrial buildings in the world. For that reason, it does not have a lift to the upper level, where part of the event will be held.
Guidedogs are permitted and we will have a BSL signer on hand too. If you're nervous about attending on your own, let us know in advance and we will match you up with a buddy.
