We meet every 2 months for a three-course lunch and a speaker - unlike other lunches she begins talking before the first course and continues throughout the lunch. Contacts made via the Network tend to bring either more business or more friends and frequently both. The £45 cost is split between £25 for the lunch and £20 funding for long-term unemployed who are being given skills to get and keep a permanent job. This is a guilt-free occasion as 100% of the profits are ploughed straight back into the charity, Training For Life. Lunches are from 11.30am to 2:15-ish

This Network, described as “Cool for Creatives” is one of 4 specially recommended as influential women’s networks. And there’s a case history about Veronique who came to the Network lunch, met people who introduced her to others and through this she obtained a fabulous job in the area she wanted. More importantly, the restaurant’s aim – of training long-term unemployed is described as well.
