Help Shape the Future of Inclusive Social Events
Spring into Action has been running the Meet N Match project since 2018, supporting people with learning disabilities and autism in building friendships and relationships. Thanks to The National Lottery, we’ve been funded for the past six years - and now, we’re looking ahead.
We’ve successfully passed the first stage of securing an additional three years of funding, and as part of this next phase, we aim to develop a partnership network. This network will provide a framework to help other organisations set up inclusive social events with relationship support in their own communities.
To make this vision a reality, we want to hear from organisations and individuals who may be interested in being part of this initiative. We’re hosting a focus group session to gather insights, explore opportunities, and shape our final proposal to The National Lottery.
If you’d like to contribute to this exciting development, please join us

Spring into Action Business Inclusion Group Launch
Wednesday 4 September 2024
Business Inclusion Group Launch event
An event focused on the benefits of diversity & inclusion in business - Hosted by Spring into Action CIC.
About the Business Inclusion Group:
An inclusive culture in business means that all employees, regardless of their background, identity or circumstance, are empowered to thrive. Evidence tells us that a diverse, inclusive workplace is better for business. As well as health benefits for staff, it can create happy teams and increase the bottom line. But creating an inclusive culture doesn’t happen by accident, or overnight. It needs a commitment to change, that’s driven from the top.
We are asking businesses to ‘Spring into Action’ around this agenda and join our Business Inclusion Group. Our group will help business leaders, HR professionals and diversity advocates to make positive steps to be more inclusive in their business, alongside supporting their CSR and social value goals through inclusion.
Time: 10am - 1pm (lunch 12.30pm)
