This network provides a supportive space for socially minded people to share ideas and develop as sole traders or businesses. It is for those wanting to think about some ethical and value based business issues and for those that want to do good in their business.

The First Tuesday network is run by THiNK, and will run every other month on the First Tuesday of the month and we collect £5 on the door towards costs.

This meeting will be a time for us all to think about our values and to talk through with others, why we do what we do, and who we are, so what do we believe in & how this helps shape our business.

We will then look at how we can use this and bring it into our stories about our work.

For us to make our values more visible in our work, we need to be able to think about our why's and who we are and to be able to tell others easily about this. This network will be a time to talk with others, share a bit about yourself, and find out how this comes across to others in relation to your work.

This meeting will involve discussions in groups, each spending time thinking of their own situation, and then giving feed back to each other.

You're invited you to join us, and like-minded others to do some thinking, exploring, & talking about ethical business issues.

Emma Torrance, co-owner of THiNK will be hosting tonight’s network. She has a SFEDI practitioners qualification in advising businesses & specialised in Social Enterprise, and has worked with many freelancers, private businesses and social enterprises. Emma currently provides mentoring and workshops, as well as co-managing THiNK.

Who should come?
It is for those wanting to think about some ethical and value based business issues and for those that want to do good in their business. Our network maybe of interest to freelancers, businesses, social enterprises, community or not for profit organisations.

We collect £5 on the door towards costs. Hot drinks will be available for sale.

This network is taking place on the first floor, and involves using a flight of steps. Apologies, we do not have a lift.
