…that business matters is a charity funded wholly by donations from individuals and organisations?

…that the vision of business matters is to exist to support, serve and encourage those working in the business community in Edinburgh through an innovative and accessible programme of events, tailored to promote personal and professional development?

We aim to offer all of our events and support at no cost but we rely on the generosity of many to make this happen.

Can you help us maintain the quality and impact of our support to the business community year on year by partnering with us by a regular monthly donation or one-off contribution to our work and running costs? Please go to the “Connect” page to donate.

We are passionate about supporting, serving and encouraging you and those working in the business community in Edinburgh, and we have exciting plans for the next few years to deliver a great programme of events tailored to promote personal and professional development. Can you help us make this possible?

We want to continue and grow the work we do helping people thrive and prosper day-to-day through:

• running an attractive, diverse and innovative program of events relevant to those in work to encourage individuals to pursue professional and personal development
• one to one support and our growing program which aims to:

1. equip and provide individuals with tools to build resilience in their everyday life and particularly at work.
2. connect individuals to a growing and supportive community and network in the city and signpost people to appropriate resources and expert advice in relation to personal or professional concerns.
3. spark inspiration and challenge in individuals by presenting ideas, opinions, debate and conversations around larger issues in business and culture.

We will be outlining more of our plans, specific financial needs and ways in which you can pledge to help cover specific project costs or gift us, and the community we support, your time or other practical help over the coming months – we hope you will be able to help support us!
