UBM plc today announces the not-for-profit organisations taking part in Business4Better UK on 9-10 July at the National Hall, Olympia, London. Ranging from social enterprises to established charities and smaller not-for-profit groups, among the over 150 organisations set to take part are Macmillan Cancer Support, London Community Resource Network, Centrepoint and Genetic Disorders UK.

Business4Better UK offers a unique opportunity for organisations to showcase the work they do and demonstrate first-hand why businesses would benefit from partnering with them. The two-day event will also feature a stimulating programme of workshops, seminars, immersive experiences and case-studies that will bring together experts, practitioners, thought-leaders and agents of change, offering inspiration, motivation and practical help to anyone seeking to create meaningful partnerships between the not-for-profit and commercial sectors.

UBM plc Chief Executive Officer, David Levin commented; “The overwhelming response from the not-for-profit sector to Business4Better UK demonstrates the appetite for an event that truly connects business with the Voluntary Sector. We are delighted by the range of organisations taking part and we look forward to seeing partnerships being created as a result of this exciting initiative.”

One of the exhibiting organisations, Cancer Research added “Cancer Research UK is delighted to be playing an active role in this year’s Business4Better. This event provides a great forum for us to share our experience of how to create market-leading, mutually beneficial and commercially driven partnerships between companies and charities. We also hope that Business4Better will act as a platform for Cancer Research UK to start conversations with like-minded companies and explore possible partnerships for the future,” Caroline Silke, Head of Corporate Partnerships, Cancer Research UK

Business4Better UK is free to attend for not-for-profits, social enterprises and business. The event is designed for anyone already thinking about the benefit of partnerships, or for those seeking advice and support before they take their first steps. Visitors will be able to explore how further to progress a partnership and have a chance to meet those ready to engage in conversation.
