Dear Future Leap Community, 

Happy New Year! We hope this message finds you well-rested and ready to embark on a year filled with energy, enthusiasm, and sustainable success. As we kick off 2024, we wanted to provide you with an update on some exciting plans for the upcoming weeks. 

Our Events Are Back! Our events programme is back after a short pause over the festive season. Bookings are coming in thick and fast and the Wildlife Photography Opening Night has sold out! If you missed the chance to grab tickets, don’t worry—the exhibition will be running at our Gloucester Road hub throughout the next month. 

Upcoming Free Events: We’re excited to inform you that the next few events will be free, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, The University of Bristol and YTKO. YTKO has sponsored a free tour of our award-winning Gloucester Road hub on January 31st, focusing on its green tech and design features that led to it winning a prestigeous property award. On the same day, The University of Bristol is sponsoring a Netwalking session with a free lunch and a discussion on environmental terminology. 

Additionally, on February 1st, courtesy of YTKO, we have a free sustainable food event. Who can resist free food and valuable insights into sustainable practices? To book onto any of these events, head here.  

Sponsorships for The Festival of Sustainable Business: We’re actively securing sponsorships for our BIG events of the year—the Festival of Sustainable Business. A big shoutout to our sponsors for their support. The first part of the three-part Festival kicks off on March 14, 2024, featuring a hybrid conference with seminars focused on sustainability within the Built Environment, EV Infrastructure, Communications, and B Corp. Grab your tickets before they sell out! 

Ending Soon: Co-Working and Venue Offers: Hurry! We are in the final days of our co-working offer and venue offer. Visit our website to learn more and take advantage of these opportunities. 

Media Studio Open House: Mark your calendars for the end of February when we’ll be hosting a Media Studio open house. Check out the offer on our website if you’re interested in utilising our carbon-neutral film studio, photography studio, or podcast recording facilities. 

Team Updates: We bid a fond farewell to our Events & Marketing Coordinator, Amazon, as she embarks on her travels, and we extend our best wishes to our Managing Director, Fenna, as she prepares for her upcoming maternity leave in April. Best of luck to both of you! 

Thank You: A heartfelt thank you to our community of changemakers for the support and friendship you offer the Future Leap team. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if we can support your business on its sustainability journey, be it through our events and co-working spaces or our Business Services (Consultancy, Eco-Fit, or Future Leap Finance). 

Here’s to a year filled with positive change and sustainable achievements as we transition to a green and just economy! 

With optimism,  

Katherine
