Following our first Champions event in March, this will be our second opportunity to meet and bring together businesses, education, the public sector, the community and third sector, indeed all organisations so we can put Torbay on the map. You know what an amazing story we have to tell, and we have such a lot to be proud of. That's why we all need to talk the place up, celebrate our successes. Together we need to act as Champions for Torbay and get our story out there.

As a reminder, this Champion network is a place where you will be able to hear about new initiatives, developments and success stories from the people that are making them happen.

Collaboration has never been more important than now as we seek to overcome Coronavirus and work together to help restore and grow the economy. Together we can show the confidence we have in our future and play a part in making that happen.

This second Champions meeting will be held face to face in the Hi-Tech & Digital Centre at South Devon College in Paignton, below is a map of the campus so you can see where the event will be taking place. There are limited spaces so please register to reserve your seat.
