BUD September Newsletter – BUD is BUDDING! 

September has flown by so quickly with so much news to share! 

Here is a brief summary of some of the projects we’ve been working on! 


ELEVATE!

We held wonderful workshops with our great Peer-to-Peer network. They delivered workshops around Demystifying Investment, Powerful Storytelling and much more. Through these segments, many of our participants were left empowered, rejuvenated and confident about growing their organisations.

BLOC NEWS 

After Elevate what next? 
The wonderful networking event was centred around the power of networking and skill-sharing. We are fortunate at BUD that we have a skill sharing platform of our own which helps to connect like-minded people, whilst helping fill in any skills gaps within their organisations.  
BLOC’s Collaborative Leaders Network is centred around all things to do with this fantastic Peer-to-Peer network.
