Conference Centres of Excellence, the UK’s leading quality consortium of specialist meeting and event venues has received charity partner status from Meetings Industry Meeting Needs (MIMN) due to consistent fundraising efforts over the last four years.
MIMN is a registered charity founded by leading figures in the UK conference and events Industry to raise funds for worthy causes relevant to the events industry which may not have the resources to raise sufficient funds without additional contributions. Many needy causes do not have access to public funding and MIMN can provide financial support to these types of organisations through various fund-raising initiatives and activities.
For a number of years Conference Centres of Excellence has raised funds at the Annual Conference, and Annual Chefs’ Challenge competition dinner, with members contributing fantastic raffle prizes. Last year the group raised £1,335 for MIMN and with the 2013 Chefs’s Challenge competition just around the corner in November, we hope to exceed this figure to further support the organisation.
“As a leading venue organisation with 21 years of working in the events sector, it is right that we should support a charity partner that is close to our industry, and as such it is a privilege to be associated with the excellent and vital work MIMN carries out each year after year, taking care of people less fortunate than ourselves” commented Anthony Lishman, Executive Director of Conference Centres of Excellence.
