On Wednesday 1st December, we welcomed 9 local residents of Islington to Better Space, for a tour and opportunity to network with our member businesses over a delicious lunch!

Those who joined us were participants of LIFT’s programmes or aspiring entrepeneurs looking to start a business. 5 of our Better Space members and founders joined us to share their business journey insights, current business opportunties and advice.

Once everyone had arrived and we’d had a tour of Better Space’s coworking facilities, we sat down to a fantastic vegan spread from The Arty Vegan.

We then went around the table to introduce ourselves, being sure to call out any asks for support, contacts or any work opportunities available to the group.

Some great connections were made around business ideas, recruitment opportunities, community insights and general network sharing!

Thanks to Sara Goward-Jones of LIFT for bringing the group together and for Jane from St Lukes Community Center for joining us too.

If you’d like the opportunity to connect with other start ups for advice or mentoring opportunties and see Better Space, please email us at betterspace@city.ac.uk.
