Involve and Impact Investing Institute want to put people at the heart of decision making in North of Tyne communities, so they’re inviting individuals to have their say at a Community Cuppa event.
The aim of the event(s) is to give local people a say in how people investing in the area engage them when deciding what to invest in.
The events will bring together local people to discuss what they think over cups of tea and coffee (and perhaps even some biscuits!) in a relaxed and friendly setting. That’s why they’re called Community Cuppas! No prior knowledge is needed and we will offer everyone attending a £25 supermarket or Amazon voucher as a thank you for their time.
The events are open to anyone who lives in Newcastle, North Tyne or Northumberland. We are able to provide interpreters, support staff, materials in large print / different languages, and to make other adjustments as needed, to allow people to attend and participate comfortably. People should let us know what they need when they sign up to attend.
The Community Cuppas are going to take place as follows:
- Hexham, Northumberland on Friday 3 February, 12.30-15.00
- West End of Newcastle on Saturday 4 February, 10.00-12.30
- North Shields on Saturday 4 February, 15.00-17.30
How to sign up to attend
To sign up to attend, people can do any of the following:
- Sign up on this webpage
- Email cuppas@involve.org.uk
- Phone 020 3745 4334
Once they have contacted us, people should hold the date of the event they would like to attend in their diary. We will then get in touch by the end of Friday 27 January at the latest to confirm if they have a space. We expect to be able to offer everyone who would like to attend a spot, but just in case we are very oversubscribed we are going to email everyone to confirm.
